Questioner:
How do the online adult hosting laws differ between the US and somewhere like Amsterdam, Europe?
- Is it legal to host adult content on your website?
- Is it legal to host copyrighted content on your website?
- Is it legal to redirect or embed adult content that's stored elsewhere?
- Is it legal to redirect or embed copyrighted content that's stored elsewhere?
- Is it legal to redirect or embed copyrighted adult content that's stored elsewhere?
- Is it legal to embed copyrighted/adult content on your website, that you have yourself hosted on an external public video hosting service?
- Can anything be held as evidence of such an act in court of law and how likely is it to be prosecuted? How about if the content on the external hosting service is watermarked by a company logo that is the same one representing your website? Can a logo or name be held as evidence in the court of law?
- Does the legal responsibility of the hosted content lie on you or the provider of the video hosting service?
- Is it far more likely that the video hosting service will initiate a takedown notice on your content?
How do these laws differentiate in terms of non profit and commercial websites?
- Is advertisement considered as profit independent to the contents of a website? Does making profit through ad traffic fall under the Commercial use licence in regards to the content or is it only accounted for direct sales?
- How does all of this apply to the aforementioned system of integrating an external content hosting service into a profitable ad network website?
- What content is considered copyrighted as opposed to public domain content? How do you access the copyright information beholding a particular item?
- Example: One acquires a wallpaper collection on a public network like example reddit.com ; How does one determine the licence of the distributed content?
- How likely is that one is to be prosecuted for hosting the publicly acquired wallpaper collection on his website servers and what are the legal risks?
- If the content is deemed under copyright law, what risks is one exposed to when hosting the content? How likely is it that one is to have legal issue with using an object that falls under the majority of easy accessible data on the internet?
- When does a contents licence expire and fall under public domain?
- What are some example of won and lost court cases regarding similar scenarios?
- What takeaways can be acquired from them?
