From: Serious
Coin Inspite of the fact that we're based in EU, Serious Coin partnership is fully compliant with the new 2257 regulations. We have all the required docs. We will NOT remove any of our sites from the program. The promo content and banners will still be available. US affiliates: Our recommendations to US affiliates: 1) Extend the usage of our free hosted galleries, linking to them using text descriptions. 2) Use more text links for marketing paysites. 3) Use only non sexually explicit content, choosing it from the available inside webmasters zone (more detailed explanation below). US affiliates should only use non sexually explicit content /banners, because we won't provide affiliates with Models IDs (the reason for that is Privacy of our models). The definition of sexually explicit content is made in 18 U.S.C. 2256: "sexual intercourse, including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether between persons of the same or opposite sex; bestiality; masturbation; sadistic or masochistic abuse; or lascivious exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of any person" Though we have many softcore (in usual meaning) sets and banners for our sites, some of them may be defined as sexually explicit under the terms above. So, be careful with that. In future content updates we will try to add as much non sexually explicit content as hardcore one. Also we're ready to release more non sexually explicit content to serious affiliates after additional request. All of our pay sites and free hosted galleries are compliant with new 2257 regulations. We advise to use free hosted galleries more often. If you link to hosted galleries using thumbnails, be careful with choosing non sexually explicit ones. The better way is to link with text descriptions, which are available for each hosted gallery. For serious gallery posters ( US affiliates) we may offer free hosting (including domain option) which will allow you to comply new 2257 regulations. Contact us for details. Non US affiliates: According our understanding and some lawyers' comments, affiliates who are not US citizens are not directly affected by these new 2257 regulations. Though, certain parts of new law are unclear and it's difficult to understand what exactly authors have meant. That is why we should oversee the situation after the 23rd of June and perform needed changes in our work if this will be required. We will update our affiliates with the news regarding 2257 law. Good luck to everyone! Disclaimer: The status of this announcement is internal affiliates newsletter only. It shouldn't be considered as legal advice in any form.
