User Submitted Content And 2257
I have been thinking of adding a message board to the members area of my paysite so that members can upload photos and/or videos of their gfs or wives. I have all of the 2257 docs and ID's of all of the models that I have personally shot but what about user submitted content on a message board? How does that work in relation to 2257?
I did run across this information on an adult webmaster law site -
****You must comply if you ?actually film or videotape? or ?create a digitally/computer image? 2257 content OR
If you ?produce?, ?publish?, ?duplicate? ?reproduce? or ?insert on a computer site? 2257 content
BUT NOT IF you are a ?printer?, ?film processor?, ?video duplicator?, ?merely distribute?, OR ?operate a posting service such as Usenet, bulletin boards and similar services? and remove child pornography from their sites, OR are a web host without right to ?manage the 2257 content?
If you ?cannot reasonably manage the content of the site? by contract or technical reasons you do not have to comply with 2257. ALSO NOT noncommercial (free) or educational distribution.****
Of course, I would consult with an attorney before actually going live with this but from the information listed above, it doesn't seem as if I would need the users to send in copies of ID's and release forms being that I would be operating a posting service in the form of a bulletin board. And again, I would not count on this information as being sound legal advice but I am just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on this at all. I don't know how many people would take the time to scan and email ID's and release forms just so that they can post a photo to a message board. There has to be a way to do this without being in violation.
