The funny thing is that the existing 2257 law is already on the books that could be used to shut down obscenity.. the 1st amendment attornies have been saying this for years. By not being able to comply with existing 2257 laws, you can go to jail for 5 years.. it's already on the books.
Most of the new changes helped to clarify some vagueness in the current laws, but added alot of additional burdens to webmasters. I am thinking that no one talked to the average joe webmaster to understand the issues.

Chief, Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section, Criminal Division,
