Am I responsible for my Affiliates compliance?

Therein lies the rub though, eh? I'm really surprised this isn't asked more. I mean- being proactive is super important in anything. Moreso, dealing with the above sort of issue.

I don't know the in's and out's of the industry which is why I am here. :-)

Anyone can state they are compliant. "Teen" sites must have to think about this all the time. Unless, they just have enough money to not care and lawyer up if/when an issue arises.

Let me ask a better question:

What would be considered "best practices" WRT 2257 from a traffic pusher's point of view?

I noticed some foreign content providers are very thorough and go out of their way to explain they send an ID kit along with every model set you purchase. This was a really high end Brazillian studio that does custom shoots though.

<shrug> I guess if the "iffiest" domain they have has been registered since '99 and they are hosted by a US ISP like California.net and can get CCbill and state they are compliant, well- that's a lot of layers to get through.

But- ultimately who I feed traffic to is up to me.
