If my g/f and I make a site we need to comply with 2257 including posting our address and manning our "office" a certain number of hours per week ... But none of the laws apply if we post it as user submitted to a tube site?????  |
Vivid has brought up the 2257 issue against pornotube (AEBN) in their lawsuit against them.
Other content producers who have targeted copyright infringers have also brought this up.
The whole user-generated-web-2.0 thing is certainly an interesting gray area that attorneys and prosecutors are trying to understand. Google inherited a huge library of videos with copyright infringement and going into the acquisition they felt they could handle it... of course, they are being sued by Viacom over these issues.
