4472, which no one talks about, does in fact have many new regulations restricting even what would formerly have been described as "soft core" or "nonexplicit" content.

If I were a webmaster who lived outside the US, I would under no circumstances host any of my content inside the US... just one more hassle you don't need.

If you are a webmaster living inside the US, though, you have to comply, regardless of where your servers are, or where you *claim* your business is located.

Obscenity convictions are hard to get, the Feds haven't been successful at getting convictions on even the stuff that most of us would agree is probably very much "over the line." But even getting charged is enough to wipe you out... they could easily seize your servers, assets, etc., making it difficult to keep revenues coming in while fighting the case, or pay your attorney.

In short, the warning page won't protect you, but having it there, and taking every other reasonable step you can to prevent minors from viewing content they shouldn't be seeing is the responsible thing to do, and if you do find yourself in front of a jury, you can make the case that you honesty took every reasonable precaution to ensure your content was seen only by those who wanted to, and were old enough. to see it.
