I'm not a lawyer but it reads to me that it places the responsibilty onto the user. I guess the question would be obscene.

It may protect them from a lawsuit by a person who's had their picture posted againts their will but that's it.
Obscenity is not the main question, obscenity has to be prosecuted in a different way than 18 USC 2257 violations.
Obscenity is objective, we are talking about clear cut case of don't have the proper legal documentation and the images are on my server.
There is already some litigation about who's responsability it is and a lot of that is pointing to the owners of the servers and it aint over yet.
Don't get me wrong I take some pretty weird pictures and someone in West Kackakackeee BF Egypt Bible belt town would most likely find them objectionable, they are still writing the laws for that too.
I also have an xratedpost pic site where people post some naked images which I do not control nor have docs for and it's on my severs and I have a disclaimer: ala Yahoo.
I aint advocating packing it in and going to the choir and prayer meetings twice a week I do think you should be aware of the variables.
It's still uncharted territory out there and like the majority of adult sites out there that have yet to be targeted by the FEDs you may get away with it and even get rich.
Larry Flynt was a pioneer and maybe you'll be one too (Larry went through a lot of shit and came out on top financially but he paid with his body and soul for it!)
You must be prepared to pay the ferryman.
