The only difference was 2257 making us word shit differently and of course the insane record keeping requirements. 2257 is nothing but a "record keeping" law so they can arrest you for not keeping records exactly as they say. They will never arrest anybody that keeps 2257 records for child porn. Child Pornographers don't keep records. They were only gonna use 2257 to arrest law-abiding people through record keeping errors in order to shut them down because they want to shut down porn.

You're right on target. And, I think much of the "insane" 2257 regulations is attributed to politicians needing to appease the right-wing radical hypocrite voters who secretly enjoy porn but whose unnecessary guilt afterwards causes them to demand more government action against the very porn they themselves will again use and enjoy in between their "guilt" sessions.
Also, too many politicians let their personal religious views fog the line between church and state:-((
