Fleshbot is not a primary or secondary producer (as defined in 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c)(1)- 28 C.F.R. § 75.1(c) (2)) of any visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct, simulated sexual conduct or otherwise, displayed on Fleshbot.com.

As such, Fleshbot is exempt from the requirements of 18 U.S.C. 2257 under the plain language of the statute which explicitly excludes from the meaning of "producer" those entities whose activities do "not involve the hiring, contracting for, managing, or otherwise arranging for the participation of the depicted performers."

To the best of our knowledge, all models, actors, actresses and other persons appearing in any visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct, simulated sexual conduct or otherwise, displayed on Fleshbot.com were at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time such depictions were created.

If you require Section 2257 records for any visual depiction of actual sexually explicit conduct, simulated sexual conduct or otherwise, displayed on Fleshbot.com, you are encouraged to follow the attribution link from visual depiction to the media source and inquire about the records from that media source.

Comments Terms of Use

The comments sections on Fleshbot are accessible to users by invitation only (such invitations coming either from Fleshbot editors directly or by referral from existing comment users). Fleshbot's comment user registration system has been designed so that, if the user so chooses, they can remain completely anonymous, even to us.

In order to make our comments useful and interesting, the following guidelines have been established for comment users:

• Do not post threatening, harassing, defamatory, or libelous material.
• Do not intentionally make false or misleading statements.
• Do not offer to sell or buy any product or service.
• Do not post material that infringes copyright.
• Do not post information that you know to be confidential or sensitive or otherwise in breach of the law.
• Keep all comments relevant to the particular site where the comment is being posted.
• Fleshbot will not accept responsibility for information posted in the Comments.

Please note that once you post a comment to one of our sites, it becomes part of the public conversation. Our policy is that we will not remove a user's comments unless we deem them to be in violation of our Terms of Service. So if you want to say something that you will later regret personally, it is advisable that you use a username that does not identify you. We cannot remove your comments simply because you have a change of heart about making them.

Additionally, it is our policy not to delete comment accounts.

However, Fleshbot reserves the right to remove comments entirely at its discretion, including for alleged violations of terms of service or legal rights.

Fleshbot is not responsible for the content of user comments. If a third party complains that your comment violates our TOS or their rights, we will invite them to respond in the comments themselves. If they pursue the complaint, we will make reasonable efforts to contact you by the means you have provided us, to alert you to the situation. We will protect your contact information as described in our privacy policy, but may be compelled to turn it over pursuant to legal process.

Image and Video Terms of Use

Fleshbot sites typically display images, audio, and video (the "Material") as part of blog posts written by our editors. The types of Material editors are authorized to use on Fleshbot sites include:

• Material licensed from photographic archive and video vendors
• Material supplied to our editors or released into the public domain by public relations and marketing companies for press purposes
• Reader-submitted Material, with the implied representation that the person submitting the material owns the copyright in the material and the right to give it to us for use on our site(s)
• Material published on Flickr or other public photo / video sites with licenses granted under Creative Commons, with attribution in accordance with the CC license granted in each case
• Material commissioned by Fleshbot
• Material that we believe to be covered by the Fair Use Doctrine, taking into account factors such as:
  1. The purpose and character of the use (i.e. transformation from the original, use for criticism, satire or parody
  2. The nature of the copyrighted work (i.e. factual or newsworthy vs creative works)
  3. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the whole (i.e. use of cropped, reduced, low-resolution Material used for no more than to convey the point made)
  4. The effect on the potential market for the copyrighted work (e.g. use that is not substitutive for the original, or would never be licensed in any event)

1. For each allegedly infringing image, video or piece of text that you wish to have removed from one of our sites, provide the exact permanent URL for the page containing the material.
2. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you: an email address is preferred, as well as a telephone contact number.
3. For images, provide the following information detailing your claim to ownership of the copyright in the allegedly infringing image:
   
   

   * Proof of copyright in the image concerned, namely proof of registration of the Image under the DMCA,

   
   OR, absent such registration,
   • a detailed description of where the photograph was taken, by whom, who or what the subject of the image is, AND
   • Evidence to support your claim that you own the copyright in the image.
   We will not comply with requests to remove an image where the complainant cannot prove that they own the copyright in the image in question.
4. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."

What's threaded commenting?

Threading is a way to make comments read more like conversations instead of a bunch of disconnected single replies. Now, when someone says something interesting enough to get replies from other readers, all those replies will appear directly below the original comment. Each of these blocks is called a "thread"—kind of like in Gmail.

The first comment in a thread will have a few distinguishing features, among them, the number of replies in the thread along with the time of the most recent reply.

Click the arrow on the lower right side to open a reply input box directly underneath the comment—there's no need to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page to reply.

Replies (and replies to replies, and replies to replies to replies) will not be indented as is the custom in most forums. Instead, they will be collapsed.

What's the deal with the star again?

Star commenters were readers who have 25 or more followers, or were designated as stars by a comments admin. With the introduction of threading, the number of followers required to attain star is increasing to 40. Commenter admins also hand out stars to commenters who may not have 40 followers, but illuminate our lives with flashes of brilliance.

Is there a way to view comments the "old-fashioned" way?

You can switch to the old style comments layout by clicking the "classic view" link in the comments bar at the top of the threads.

That's it! If you have any other questions about commenting on Fleshbot, feel free to consult our Comments FAQ. Happy commenting!

Since this mid-July sweat storm has probably pitted out all your finest t-shirts, perhaps it's time re-stock your wardrobe with the latest entry in the Body by Gawker collection. This stylish and colorful ensemble is not only comfortable, it allows you to reference an inside joke about Billy Joel's ex-wife's husband's mistress that's sure to impress several people on the island of Manhattan. Frankly, 90% of what our big sibs say over there goes right over our heads, but we've been told it's a hilarious situation. Plus, it's a t-shirt with a naughty word on it ... what more do you want?

While the Fleshbot staff is taking the day off to chew on big meaty sausages and suck on some nice juicy melons (no different from our usual plan of action, but still), those of you still sitting at your computers may want to check out some of our highlights from the past week:

· YouTube Babes
· Celebrity NippleWatch™: Keira Knightley
· Porn Valley Dispatch: Tylene Buck Stops Here
· HUMP! 2: Call for Indie Porn Submissions
· Lactation Station Breast Milk Bar
· Britney Spears in Harper's Bazaar
· Crush Dreams
· XTube
· Vena Virago's "Silverlake Scenesters"
· Free Melissa Midwest!

See you on Wednesday morning.

If videos of stylized lesbionic canoodlings or hot Puerto Rican strippers aren't your thing, you're sure to find something else of interest at the freshly hatched Gawker Clips, an online venue for both original and "recommended" (read: rehashed) video from all the sites in the Gawker Media omniverse. Due to the more prudish sensibilities on the part of some readers of our sibling titles, you won't find any Fleshbot-approved videos in the regularly updated clip feed ... but know that whenever you are in the mood to watch stylized lesbionic canoodlings or hot Puerto Rican strippers, you can still always find them right here.

· Gawker Clips (gawker.com/clips)

After two and a half years of bringing you the newest porn on the web via the oldest layout in the Gawker Media stable, our media overlords finally consented to a head to toe (or should we say T to A?) redesign of Fleshbot, the results of which you're looking at now; we're told it's the first site amongst our brethren and sistren to feature the new extra-strength Gawker Widescreen™ goodness which will become standard on all our sites, though don't expect Defamer or Gizmodo or Wonkette to start featuring full size pics from the world's best erotic artists or exclusive photos of your favorite pornstars anytime soon. (Though who knows? Sometimes things change around here faster than we realize.)

Sloppy wet kisses (with tongue) to Pretty and Taylor for making it happen. And to all of you who were too polite to say anything about our wardrobe being out of date for so long.

· Fleshbot 2.0 (you're soaking in it!)

Excuse us if things seem a little quieter than usual on Fleshbot this morning; we're letting the hamsters gerbils which power our publishing server take a rest while our tech minions put the finishing touches on some much-needed renovations around here. We're told it will be worth the wait.

In the meantime, why not take the opportunity to catch up on some of our highlights from the last week in case you missed them the first time around—or experience the magic again if you didn't? You'll be glad you did:

· Porn Valley Dispatch: The XRCO Awards
· David Williams Porn Scandal?
· DVD Review: "Atomic Vixens"
· Her Cruel Feet
· Tera Patrick Does Howard Stern
· Let's Sexy English!
· Preview: "ReBelle Rousers"

While conventional wisdom holds that looking at pornography is generally a solitary activity, a recent report we just made up here at Fleshbot Central suggests that a substantial majority of our readers are tired of furtively clicking through acres of skin on their monitors by themselves and long for the sort of companionship and interaction that only sharing their most intimate thoughts about bukkake and celebrity breast exposure with hundreds of thousands of strangers can provide. So we're pleased to announce that starting today, you'll find a "Comments" link at the bottom of every post on Fleshbot.

If you've already received an invitation to comment on one (or more) of the fine family of Gawker Media sites, you know how our comment system works; if you haven't, check out the Fleshbot Comments FAQ for more information. We'll be sending out our first batch of invites this afternoon.

And never let it be said that we don't care about you. Because we do.

Get 'em while they're hot.

While we certainly can be counted on for all the tennis star wardrobe malfunctions, nude boxing and subtle lesbianism in professional sports you can suck up with a feeding tube, we're a little single-minded when it comes to the sporting life—which is why I'm looking forward to ogling and fondling the brand new pages of Deadspin, Gawker's fresh-off-the-bus babe in a growing Manson family of blogs. Deadspin tells us, "We are only trying to find and provide sports information on the web in a way that makes you forget, if just for the briefest of seconds, that you have to file that report/duplicate that invoice/fax that cover sheet/fluff that hairless dude." Just how did they know about my freshly-waxed intern? Already amazing. V. Blue

Burning Angel continues its inexorable quest to take over the planet with the introduction of Nixxx, their first model from the UK: aside from her great taste in corsetwear, we're also intrigued by whatever's in that chalice she's sipping from in her debut photoset. (Go ahead and think it's Ribena or tomato juice if you want, but we know better.)

Not just your average adult site, Fleshbot is an influential web magazine that showcases all the sex culture and pornography that digital technology and distribution has made possible. This includes CGI and morphed images, webcam amateurs, sex blogs, Japanese sex culture, accidental smut, vintage erotica, and celebrity candids. Wit and good writing have marked it out from other adult websites. It has significant crossover potential; the title is sufficiently mainstream to have been featured in the New York Times, and has attracted advertisers such as Playboy.

Readership. As of January 2006, Fleshbot attracted more than 9 million pageviews per month.

Units. In addition to standard advertising units, Gawker Media is open to discussions on other sponsored content packages, ranging from exclusive sponsorships of categories to custom contests. You can view an example custom contest for HP here. Email to advertising@gawker.com to discuss.

Graphic Ads - CPM Pricing.**

• 728 x 90 IMU - (Top banner, above site logo) - $8 CPM
• 300 x 250 IMU - (Rectangle, within editorial, between 4th and 5th posts) - $10 CPM
• 160 x 600 IMU - (Skyscraper, right sidebar) - $8 CPM
• 160 x 160 IMU - (Button, right sidebar) - $6 CPM

Discounts are available for first time advertisers and larger buys/longer runs.

** CPM stands for "cost per thousand impressions" so for example having your ad appear 500,000 times on this site at a CPM rate of $4 would cost $2,000 (500,000 impressions x $4 / 1000).

Text Links. You can buy a text link immediately by visiting Adbrite.

Payment. Our minimum purchase of $2000 is payable by check or wire transfer prior to running your advertisement. Contact advertising@gawker.com to arrange.

Package deals. Gawker Media publishes a series of niche upscale online media titles: Gawker Tech includes Gizmodo (gadgets), Lifehacker (software), Kotaku (computer games) and Jalopnik (cars) and Gawker Buzz includes Gawker (Manhattan media), Defamer (LA celebrity), Wonkette (DC politics), Screenhead (entertainment), Sploid (tabloid news) and Deadspin (sports). Discounts are available for advertising across more than one title.

Launched in November 2003, Fleshbot is a frequently updated and influential web magazine about the pornography—and the sex culture—that digital technology and distribution has made possible.

Fleshbot has been praised by the Village Voice as "the perfect way to conceal your animal urges beneath a veneer of geek intellectualism." Wired called Fleshbot "a webzine for aficionados of both pornography and the technology that now drives much of it." Fleshbot has also been featured in the New York Times and The Guardian. (More Fleshbot press here.)

As of April 2006, Fleshbot attracts an average of over 150,000 unique visitors and nearly 300,000 page views daily. Unlike many email newsletters, which sit unread in subscriber inboxes, Fleshbot counts only active readers. Information on advertising may be found here.

Fleshbot is published by Nick Denton, formerly with the Financial Times and Moreover Technologies, and edited by John d'Addario.

Fleshbot links to adult sites. It is not safe for work, and not intended for viewers under 18.

* * * * *

Editor: John d'Addario is interested in many things, sex and pornography being two of them. A native of The Bronx, he (still) lives in New Orleans with his significant other, four dogs, and a cat. His personal website has been online in varying stages of upkeep since 1996, and his porn collection isn't as large as you think.

Fleshbot hates crappy porn sites as much as you do. Just because porn is dirty doesn't mean you can't have a clean place in which to enjoy it.

We'll never, ever knowingly link to a site that'll deluge your desktop in a blizzard of popup windows or do anything else that will pollute your machine; all links on Fleshbot are tested using updated anti-virus software before we post them.

But whether you're surfing for porn or anything else on the web these days, you need to do your own part as well:

· Make sure you have anti-virus software installed on your computer and keep all your definitions up to date.

· Download the latest security patches appropriate to your operating system, especially any version of Windows - you can (and should) set Internet Explorer to automatically check for these updates every day before you start browsing.

· Better yet, ditch Explorer completely and switch to a more secure browser like Firefox, if you haven't already. You won;t regret it for a second. Trust us.

· Mac users can rest easier, since there aren't many (any?) viruses that affect the Mac OS—and Safari has a built in pop-up blocker that you can (and should) access from the application menu.

Remember: all these precautions go for browsing anywhere on the web, not just porn sites. Ultimately, only you can be responsible for the safety of your machine.

(Meanwhile, if you do happen to come across any links on Fleshbot that seem to be doing something strange to your computer, let us know and we'll investigate it promptly.)

* * * * *

Once you click on a link and leave Fleshbot, normal surfing rules apply. If we link to a preview gallery on a site you want to see more of, proceed with usual caution when exploring further links on the site (even if the page we link to doesn't use popups or other intrusive or misleading marketing devices, other links on the external site may).

Always read the fine print! For example, we have been informed that some sites engage in a phone scam which will attempt to connect your modem to an overseas number (at an appropriately exorbitant charge) - while these sites will make you scroll through a "terms and conditions" statement in laughably small type before connecting you, it may be easy to overlook this when you're hunting for porn. We will never link to a site which engages in this practice themselves, although we can't be responsible for the advertisers some of the sites we do link to happen to choose.

Make sure you read the membership terms, conditions, and privacy policy before surrendering your email address and credit card information on any site, whether it's porn or not. And always make sure there's an easy way to contact the webmaster or cancel your subscription.

A few more resources to check out:

· Slate posted a great article on virus-proofing your PC: "Virus-proof your PC in 20 minutes, for free".

· Ask Jolene is an adult search engine we use to find many of the thumbnail gallery post (TGP) picture sites on Fleshbot; their help section has some good information on protecting your computer from parasitic software.

· Pornzilla give you several good reasons why Firefox is the best porn browser—and provides dozens of free bookmarklets and extensions to make your smut surfing experience more pleasant and, er, efficient.

· Windows users should check out SpyChecker, which has a variety of anti-virus, anti-popup, and virus removal tools you can download for free.

That's it for the lecture.
Now go look at more porn.
