I'm currently working on a Brazzers gallery, I plan hotlinking the images from their hosted galleries. Do I need to place a 2257 compliance statement on the website?
Most probably your website will be buggy and with pictures missing when they will notice and they will do something against your hotlinking. I would not go for this option and I would host the files by myself.
Brazzers offers hosted galleries. Just put the link on your own designed site. I think thats what he means. Its for a affiliate. And yes, you must have a 2257. You can it copy from Brazzers
