New rules on 2257

[Alphawolf]

any content you publish after the date of the change will be effected, regardless of when you bought it or it was shot.

Publish meaning 'upload' or publish meaning when the material was produced- as far as secondary producers are concerned?

The date is effective as of 6/29/04?

As a side curiosity, what about dating/matchmaking sites and picture rating sites like hotornot?

If it's not nude, it doesn't fall under 2257 does it?

If it's a nude pic then it is subject to 2257. So, sites like adultfriendfinder will need solid 2257 info on every person who submits a naked pic *and* a link to that documentation. Whoa.

What about people who use free content? Paysites will be required hence forth to include 2257 documentation in the free content downloads?

Basically, if you publish naked content on the 'net and live in the US, then you need to become a secondary custodian of records.

It's simply putting more liability (hence responisibilty) on every single free site out there. Say goodbye to the part timers based in the US.

As a broad stroke, I sorta think it's good to force 'us' to be more responsible. It will weed out those who aren't serious about the business and take things very casually.

Will Link Lists now require links to 2257 info for every submission?

a.. Proposed 28 CFR 75.2(a)(1) would require computer site or service producers to maintain a ``hard'' physical or electronic copy of the actual depiction with the identification and age files, along with and linked to all accession information, such as each URL used for that depiction. This ensures that all of the data about all of the people in the depictions can be accessed to ensure that none of the people in the depictions are minors.

So, every model's 2257 info has to be linked to from each page the model appears on?

How will models feel about sharing their drivers license or passport photo with the entire world?

Wouldn't blocking out their address be a modification on the document? Meaning, is there verbage in the law that allows one to black out their address?

Has to be for seconday producers. I would think.

Where is the link to the actual code? Where are you quating that from, Paul?
