Another misleading concept is the fact that some webmasters purchase legal adult content which is the first step in being legal with your site(s) and then never return a webmaster license agreement...BAD NEWS!!!

Not sure all webmasters know this but just because you purcahse it doesn't make you 100% legal until you return the agreement stating your agree to the terms of the license.

I have since 1997 sold hundreds of thousands of photo sets and video sets and have yet to see half of those webmasters return a license agreement.

The #1 misconception is that content producers and providers don't have the time to sit and find each and every website that infringes on agreements or not legally purcahsing the content, but the thing the webmaster doesn't know most likely is that content providers watch out for each others stuff, when a content producer is searching the web for infringing sites (with alot of new technology software that helps us to do alot faster and more accurately) we send out an email, make a phone call or an instant message to another producer or a few when we find their content on someoens site, then that producer can look at their records to ensure the site owner is properly licensed.

Just keep in mind that if you have purchased content and did not return the license agreement as you should, you just might end up in court one day paying infringement fines, because buying it is not the last step of the process of being legal
