Which Spons are Ready for 2257 Change?

[Gawdy]

I think there is going to be alot of people out there not compliant and even more who dont even know the law exists. Theres a whole bunch of webmasters who have never even visited a forum

Looks like its gonna get tuff and I chatted with one of my main sponsors and they said they been trying for months to get the docs from the studios and no good getting it.. a lot of those DVD rip sites are gonna be hurting along with the webmasters promoting them with there content - DAM

I'm going to post this from an email I just received from Nubiles. Mostly because they said:

This is not our final statement on 2257 and webmasters do NOT HAVE PERMISSION TO POST THIS EMAIL ON ANY BBS BOARD OR WEBSITE!!!!!!!!!

Idiots.

If you have not consulted a lawyer then you really don't NEED these documents because these rules of record keeping are so strict and complex that if you don't keep the records indexed as the law states the potential time you are doing is huge.

What? So, if I don't have a lawyer I may as well not comply? Is that what I'm reading?

And they are yet another sponsor offering to host your HTML pages and images as a way around having proper documentation. Of course, in order for that to work legally, they'd also have to own your domains. They didn't mention that part, but I'm pretty sure that's true.

Correct, and many of those with stolen pics or whatever won't be putting their home addy on the web anyway. If they pay for the privacy protection of their WHOIS no one will know much about their sites anyway.
Wouldn't they be a Pain in the neck to locate for inspections.

Then again.. there will be the forthcoming webmasters who are doing things by the book and will have a flashing ARROW sign AND a Yahoo map pointing to their front door.
