I am purposely being vague here  I am not a lawyer.
But there is content that is exempt from needing 2257. |
Yes, but again...how do you prove a negative? A lot of content has been taken down that was exempt, however, the documentation that would prove it was exempt either wasn't collected or has been lost. Therefore, it would be one ugly he said/he said situation in court, and the webmaster would lose.
And yes, I realize the content that does not display actual sex is considered "exempt," but today, the proper documents are kept.
I would much rather err on the side of caution and advise novice webmasters to consider no content exempt and to *always* have proper 2257 documentation.
Am I being *overly* cautious?
