The only thing I find difficult or off the wall about those is the URL thing but it is entirely possible to be compliant with that if needed.
Keep in mind that any techie will tell you that there are many variations on any given URL. For instance, http://www.domain.com/members/pic1.jpg could also be expressed as:

- http://domain.com/members/pic1.jpg
- http://www.domain.com/members/../members/pic1.jpg
- http://www.domain.com/members/pic%31.jpg
- http://www.domain.com/members/%70%69%63%31%2e%6a%70%67

...and so on. Now, I'm not saying that anyone's likely to be busted for not listing every equivelant URL, just that it is *impossible* to comply with the letter of the proposed regulations. Show me your list of URL's that a file appears at, and I will show you a URL that you've missed.

Would that kind of trickery hold up in court? Hopefully not. But it's a bad law when you can't possibly be in compliance and have to hope that the courts will accept a good faith effort.

Cheers
