I bet my last penny that people who were lobbying about 2257 were not Christean rights.

Playboy, Hustler, Penthouse,
are the clear beneficiaries of the stringent record keeping requirements,
they were doing it forever, no skin off their backs,
they will come and pick up the pieces after lots of "yahoos" have to close their doors for lack of resources to maintain 2257 record keepings.


Hey, Lawson, does Larry still needs traffic?

Sergescash is dusting mkstats and will be ready to deliver 2,000,000 uvovuns in 6 months
;-))))

It was the europeans :awinky:

I'm already working on my 3368 with HAL's assistance.

Europeans, and the huge companies of the world like Vivid and Hustler do indeed benefit.

I thikn another group will be content providers. A lot of people will be tossing out old content they cannot find 2257 info on.

Serge, is this true? Thinking of coming out of retirment? :ph34r:

don't forget the lawyers!!

acacia, 2257 etc serve lawyers well!!

again, there's those big brand names - hustler, penthouse, playboy - consolidation is happening faster than most can keep up with :awinky:

:bjump:

no, it's not true....with low prices on caskets at Costco,
the other alternative is much more appealing at the moment
;-))))

lawyers always benefit. They are the ones who make all the laws in the first place!!

My tagline on GFY reads....
"Do not awaken sleeping Russians."

I'm quite sure the big video compnaies who still view the Internet as a fad are secretly gloating about it......

Apparently Brandon/fightthispatent is also trying to benefit

:agrin:

There's always opportunity ;)

no 2257lookup fo u

Excellent point Serge. It's obvious that the wording of much of the changes was written with print publications in mind and not websites. Most notably, the part that will require us to keep a 'hard copy' of every image that appears in said publication. That's obviously easy for Playboy to do since they can just file away the press proofs of every page that contains nudity, but will be a nightmare for a website with 500,000 images.
