I'm curious if anybody at Tribe has actually ever even read law 2257.
Paragraph 2257(h)(3) clearly states:
"...does not include mere distribution or any other activity which does not involve hiring, contracting for managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the performers depicted;"
For one thing, the people posting pictures on Tribe are not "performers" (unless you give a REALLY broad definition to that word). But more importantly, nobody on Tribe is "hired, contracted or managed" and Tribe has not "arranged for the participation".
Therefore, this law does not even APPLY to Tribe.
Are we truly that ignorant and afraid of laws that we just run scared and don't even read them?

Tue, January 10, 2006 - 8:24 PMDude, read all the preceding threads on this. It's pretty evident that the law is really just a way for tribe to deflect blame for censoring itself in the interest of making more money and making its parent company, knight ridder, easier to sell. -

Tue, January 10, 2006 - 8:30 PMI apologize if anything I wrote is contrary or ignorant of previous threads. There are an awful lot to read to be completely caught up.
I think my "anybody" was referring to the people who run these companies who just cave in to restrictive laws even when those laws don't actually apply to them. -

Tue, January 10, 2006 - 9:29 PMOh, I wasn't snapping at you, it was an honest suggestion.
Frankly I'm glad there are new people getting into being pissed about this.
I'm getting indignace-fatigue.
