• Redirecting Questionable Adult Traffic

  Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: 2257, Scripts | Response: 0

  The one thing almost all reputable adult webmasters agree on is that one way or the other, we want to rid the net of those webmasters that profit from traffic primarily gained from either the direct promotion of or, targeting of, keywords relating to child pornography however, how can you tell what traffic you are being sent and, more importantly, how can you do something about the type of traffic that you receive to your site in order to filter out this unwanted traffic? The answer is simple, use a script to redirect the traffic elsewhere before it even hits your site.

  Child Porn Redirection Php Script.

  The following php script when used on your server will enable you to send unwanted traffic gained by the promotion of using ‘illegal’ keywords in the search engines and sites which link to your own.

  <!– Start Copy Here –>

  <?

  // Redirect “Lolita” traffic

  $refer_full_path = “$HTTP_REFERER”.”$PATH_INFO”;

  if(( preg_match(“/lolita/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/child/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/preteen/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/pre-teen/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/pedo/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/underage/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/beast/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/rape/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/kinder/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/incest/i”, $refer_full_path)) ||
  ( preg_match(“/kiddie/i”, $refer_full_path))) {

  header(“Location: $refer_full_path”);
  exit;
  }

  ?>

  <?
  $words=array(“childporn”,”underage”,”beast”,”interracial”,”lolita”,”preteen”);
  for($i=0;$i<count($words);$i++){
  if(eregi($words[$i],$HTTP_REFERER)){
  header(“Location: http://www.fbi.gov/?CHILD_PORN_ON_DISK_LOGGED_AND_REPORTED”);
  }
  }
  ?>

  <!– End Copy Here –>

  In order to use this script, simply add additional keywords or partial word matches to the top part of the script and, include the bottom half of the script at the top of your HTML coding.

  Any traffic being sent to your site via keywords which you have specifically told the script not to allow access to your web site will be forwarded to the url in the bottom part of the php script which again, can be changed to wherever you like.

• Records Keeping Compliance Checklist for European Content Providers

  Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: 2257 | Response: 0

  More and more European Content Producers are choosing to do business with American. webmasters. While citizens of foreign countries cannot be compelled to comply with United States’ restrictions on the creation of adult material, business realities are forcing foreign content producers to consider voluntary compliance. American webmasters, painfully cognizant of the increasing need to focus on legal compliance, consistently reject foreign content that is not produced in compliance with 18 U.S.C. §2257.  Non-compliant content not only increases the risk that an underage model could slip through, but failure to strictly comply is itself a federal felony, exposing those involved to a 2-year prison term.  Given the substantial compliance motivations involved, foreign content producers are expected to adopt the U.S. requirements as the global standard for creation of sexually explicit imagery.  The following constitutes a bare minimum checklist for compliance with the requirements of Section 2257:

  1) Assume that all erotic images require Section 2257 compliance:  While the law only applies to actual “sexually explicit activity,” it is ill-advised for the content producer or the webmaster to attempt to guess which images require compliance, and which can be safely distributed without compliance. Since child pornography does not require the depiction of sexual activity to meet the federal definition, such distinctions can be risky business. And, in any event, a release given by a minor normally is not enforceable.

  2) Obtain a signed compliance form created by a competent attorney:  Section 2257 requires that certain records be created containing certain information. The right form is the best place to start.

  3) Obtain, at a minimum, the following information from each model:

  a.     Date Of Birth

  b.     Legal Name

  c.     All other names, aliases, nick names, stage names, and maiden names

  d.     Social Security Number

  e.     Copy of Government-Issued Identification containing a picture; preferably 2 pieces of identification. Note the requirement that the producer actually examine the identification document, not just the copies.

  f.       Address, phone and other contact information

  g.      The model’s signature

  4) Require the model to execute a binding model release prepared by a competent attorney.  The images are only as legal as the model release backing them up.  If all relevant rights have not been transferred and released by a valid model release, both the webmaster and the content producer are subject to claims once the content is displayed on a Web site.

  5) Maintain the records so that they are cross-indexed by the models’ legal names and stage names and by web page. Alternatively, provide copies of all records to the webmaster if the webmaster will act as Records Custodian. You need to discuss the particulars of this with an attorney, because each circumstance may be unique.

  6) The Records Custodian should maintain an off-site backup copy of the records: What happens if there is a fire or a government seizure?

  7) Include a conspicuous records custodian disclosure on all CD’s / DVD’s containing erotic imagery, including the full legal name of the custodian and physical address where the records are kept.  The disclosure should also certify that all models are over the age of 18, and include the date when the content was first created, published or republished.  Placement of the disclosure on the product should be reviewed by an attorney.

  Only through strict compliance with the mandates of Section 2257 will American webmasters fully embrace content produced overseas.  The right compliance procedure will open profitable markets for foreign content producers, and result in a wider variety of adult content for both webmasters and consumers.

• Protecting The Kids – Europe’s Role

  Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: 2257 | Response: 0

  As adult webmasters we have certain obligations we must fulfill daily whether these be, legal or moral.

  One issue that is constantly cropping up in our industry is that of minors (Children) accessing adult websites and, more importantly, the ease of which they can do.

  Recent figures released by one of Europe’s top internet analysis companies show that children in Europe and, specifically within the United Kingdom are more likely to visit a website and that, ‘showing that around one in five Internet kids (290,000) check out the sex sites’.

  These figures are certainly alarming to say the least, bearing in mind they are specifically talking about the United Kingdom, that leaves a vast majority of Europe, as yet, un-analyzed.

  We should all adapt to new methods in order to protect minors from accessing our site whether that includes placing your sites behind AVS systems which, in my opinion is one of the best ways and, most profitable of protecting minors or, utilizing ‘web safe’ software packages that are available to block access to adult sites completely we all need to adopt these practices.

  The fact of the matter remains that, in this day and age, no matter what precautions we take in order to prevent access there will, undoubtedly, be a majority of children who can and will, get access to adult sites.

  Does that mean we should compromise on the quality of our sites? No
  Does that mean we need to think harder about how we develop our sites? Yes

  It takes very little effort to subscribe to the services to block access and, you can get a single line of code to place within your html from ICRA which will at least, deter underage surfers from accessing your sites.

  In addition to the above mentioned service, you can also place a link on your warning page/s to the following services for parents to block access from children to our sites, SAFESURF, CYBERPATROL, NETNANNY and, SURFWATCH amongst others. Its not just about utilizing software and ratings on our sites though, we can go much further than that and, for instance, using nothing but softcore content on our sites will protect to some extent the materials available to children but, in addition you will also notice your conversion ratios will go up! I have and, I’m sure you have, heard it time and time again.. Make them ‘Pay for pink’ and, by using softcore images on your sites that’s exactly what you are doing.

  I for one certainly hope that you take heed at this article, protecting our children is paramount if, we are to succeed in the business, it is getting harder and harder to control who accesses our site but, we can at least take a step in the right direction.
