So now you're saying that your attorney said that you don't need 2257 for photos that show 'simulated' sex, but you were all over me on the other board for saying webmasters didn't need it for playboy type, nude photos and actually used your car analogy to 'splain to me why I was full of crap and that they needed to comply even if the photo didn't show nudity but someone somewhere could say that it aroused someone? That makes a lot of sense.

Hammer..
Simulated sex.. chick putting a dildo in her mouth.. why would i need 2257 for that?
Nude images... 'nude' being the operative word.. if you dont want to keep 2257 records for any 'nude' image you use on your site then fine. I will be keeping them, whether they are needed or not, our attorney has advised us we should keep records for any and all images depicting nudity in any form.
As for if the image doesnt show nudity but could arouse someone.. that is something you should bring up with one of the many attorneys you keep quoting to make your arguments seem more valid.
Of course what you want to do in respect of the new proposed 2257 regulations is completly up to you i prefer to work smarter not harder, what happens if, after all this fuss the regulation changes
DONT get passed? Apart from yourself you will have scaremongered countless other webmasters into changing things that didnt need changing.
You are obviously correct in everything you are saying about these proposed 2257 changes, especially as you are taking the advice of attorneys who know no different to you or I at the present time.
Until any prosecutions relating to the current or proposed 2257 changes go through the court system nobody knows the legal standing on them.. that is a fact.
Keep spewing the shit you are doing if you feel you are right, it really is of no consequence to me what you do ultimately, i just want other webmasters to be aware that you know nothing about the proposed changes just as the attorneys you have been quoting do not, just as i will openly admit to not knowing about them.
Rumor, conjecture and interpretation does not equal fact especially where the law is concerned and especially when the said law changes havent even been passed yet $0.02
