Right now there are court rulings and all kinds of things that are holding up real 2257 inspections and enforcements and if Obama wins in November there is a pretty good chance he will be like Clinton and not fuck with us or worry too much about enforcing the laws, but you never know. Things can change quickly. A couple of rulings against this industry and a last minute push by the Bush administration to hurt us so he can try to rally the christian conservative base around McCain and we could see some inspections again.
I wish you were right. It would do something to reduce the free porn. But it would need to be adopted by other countries as well. I host in the US, I have a US bank account, SSN, and yet the main office is in Brno. So the FBI have to visit us in Czech to inspect our records. Are we in violation of the 2257 laws? No we are not. Unless we get the wrong type size on the site.
