Which Spons are Ready for 2257 Change?

2005-05-29, 01:45 AM

A lot of content providers will not be allowing sponsors to give out 2257 documents to any affiliate who asks. They see the danger in going that route.

What this law means is no sexually explicit content to US based affiliates.

The companies that have models stalked because someone gave an ID out are going to be very lucky if they do not get sued. Best to use model releases that actually state you can freely distribute the models IDs.

The sites claim will be "The goverment made me do it" the counter claim will be, "Not with this content, it was not allowed and the goverment said if you can't comply close down"

This is not only a stalkers law, it's an ambulance chasing lawyers law as well.
