I have heard differing legal opinions on this issue. Some interpret to being going forward as of last year when Ashcroft's changes were added, some have said it goes retro.

Some companies have taken the conservative answer and ensured compliance to all content, regardless of the actual "cut off date".

The only "right" answer is what your attorney thinks since he will be the one that would have to defend you in court.


Fight the confusion!
