you completely have missed my point.. so i will use your example to explain.
When traci lords was found to be underage, the content producer didn't have to know which videos were in what stores. What happened is the word got out that certain titles needed to be pulled.
The store owner, who now has the contraband content, has to pull the video. He can check his inventory logs to see if he purchased those titles. He can go to his wall and visually inspect for the titles, etc.
The point is that the store owners had to have their own method for locating the contraband and take it down.
2257 didn't "protect" anyone from the Traci Lords situation.
2257 did not "protect" the store owner, who had to locate the content and remove it, otherwise he would be in possession and distribution position.
Forget that 2257 exists. There is no 2257.
How is a website owner going to do the equivalent that the store owner did for the Traci Lords situation when images/videoes are found to be underaged?
Fight the question!
