ORIGINAL: Esinem OK, I read the guideline for posting pictures on profiles and it prohibits 'hardcore bondage'. So I posted a very tasteful pic of my partner, shot from the rear and seated, with hands tied behind her head, considering it to be a mile short of 'hardcore' and it was rejected on the grounds that "Reason: Due to recent changes in U.S. law regarding adult content, many photographs containing persons in bondage cannot be approved at this time". Can anyone explain what is acceptable or show me examples? I am very confused by this as this site has a whole BDSM movies section. Admittedly, I haven't checked out the content but I assume it is considerably more hardcore. Is video different from still photos in American law? the video does not have different laws, but most likely you will go to a site different from CollarMe to view it, so it doesn't affect them as "producers of content". Your picture would affect them, however. This is a disclaimer statement from another popular site and why their pictures are OK. You can see that even if your picture was "simulated sexually explicit activity created after July 27th 2006", it could put the CM owners in jail. Exemption Statement - Content Produced by Operators: With regard to all visual depictions appearing on this website, for which the operators of this website are "producers," such depictions are exempt from the provisions of 18 U.S.C. §2257 and 28 C.F.R. 75 because: - they do not portray actual sexually explicit conduct as specifically defined in 18 U.S.C §2256 (2) (A)(i)-(iv);
- they do not portray depictions of the genitals or pubic area created after July 27, 2006;
- they do not portray simulated sexually explicit activity created after the effective date of Title 18 U.S.C. §2257A; or,
- they were created prior to July 3, 1995.
Exemption Statement – Content Produced by Third Parties: The operators of this website are not the "producers" of any depictions of any actual or simulated sexually explicit conduct. To the extent that any such content appears on this site, the operators' involvement with respect thereto is limited to the transmission, storage, retrieval, hosting and/or formatting of depictions posted by third party users, on areas of the website under the users' control.
