Why cant I break the site up into two parts? The first part, the "free area" has no hardcore pictures, so I place an exemption statement in that area, that is accessable to anyone. The second part, the "members section" would have a full disclosure.
Rational: There is nothing that says that the 2257 statement has to be avalible for anyone to read. CFR 75.8 states that in a video, it has to be at the beginning or the end, on a book it has to be on either the first page after the cover, or on its copyright statement. Nothing says it has to beon the box cover, or freely accessable to anyone. One could make a good argument that the "manner of display required" is only required to be disclosed to those that purchase the material (as in, buy the DVD to watch it, or shrink wrap the book so it cant be read without buying it) or that only before seeing the actual porn.

This will be the 3rd thread that I have posted this to in 2 days.
Keep in mind that this law was written pre-Internet and therefore, our concerns fall into the bold text below.
The bottom line is that this is left up to the Judge and/or the prosecutor. Why play with fire when you do not have to?
" TITLE 28--JUDICIAL ADMINISTRATION
PART 75--CHILD PROTECTION RESTORATION AND PENALTIES ENHANCEMENT ACT OF 1990; RECORD-KEEPING PROVISIONS--
Sec. 75.8 Location of the statement.
All books, magazines, and periodicals shall contain the statement required in Sec. 75.6 or suggested in Sec. 75.7 either on the first page that appears after the front cover or on the page on which copyright information appears. In any film or videotape which contains end credits for the production, direction, distribution, or other activity in connection with the film or videotape, the statement referred to in Sec. 75.6 or Sec. 75.7 shall be presented at the end of the end titles or final credits and shall be displayed for a sufficient duration to be capable of being read by the average viewer. Any other film or videotape shall contain the required statement within one minute from the start of the film or videotape, and before the opening scene, and shall display the statement for a sufficient duration to be read by the average viewer.
For all other categories not otherwise mentioned in this section, the statement is to be prominently displayed consistent with the manner of display required for the forementioned categories."
