looks to be a fair bit of passing the buck, legally is this even worth the time they spent typing it out?


and I'm not just trying to be critical of the site, I am really wondering if there was any legal point to posting that, as it is basically saying that everything is user uploaded, but is user uploaded content free of 2257 requirements if it gets further handled by the webmaster in formatting and reposting it as a blog post? I can see that a site like youtube or a forum where the user posts directly live, but in a case like this, presumably a "user" is just submitting a photo, after which the site owner looks through them and then reposts them, which implies a responsibility of moderation and therefore a responsibility of documentation, copyright and 2257 etc.
All good man.

It's just like it says here:
Exemption Statement Content Produced by Third Parties: The operators of this website are not the producers of any depictions of actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct submitted by its third party users / members. Instead, the activities of the operators of this website, with respect to such content, are limited to the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting and/or formatting of depictions posted directly to the website by third party users, on areas of the website under the users control. Pursuant to Title 18 U.S.C. 2257(h)(2)(B)(v) and 47 U.S.C. 230(c), the operators of this website reserve the right to delete content posted by users which operators deem to be indecent, obscene, defamatory or inconsistent with their policies and terms of service.

It's user submitted, we are not posting content that was bought. That's why the site is actually becoming popular. These are real people submitting stuff. Not gf/bf content that he bought and are pretending like it's submitted.
