from the article:
Recall that the ?Amber Alert Law,? also known as the PROTECT Act, included a provision instructing the Department of Justice (?DOJ?) to report on the inspections it was conducting under 18 U.S.C. §2257, the labeling and record-keeping law (?2257?). It turns out that, just before Congress? deadline, General Ashhahahahaha trundled up Capitol Hill with the required report in hand. The report said what everyone knows, which is that the DOJ has been doing materially no inspecting. But in a face-saving move, Ashhahahahaha brought with him a battery of new 2257 regulations, dramatically modifying the original ones. Ashhahahahaha especially noted that the regulations needed updating to deal with the Internet, implying that the lack of inspections was due to the out-of-date nature of the regulations.

It is a freakin face saving manuever because he got called on the carpet by Congress.
WILL there be some people fined/imprisoned. Oh yeah, very obviously. Most notably some of the kiddie porno freaks (which should have been there a long time ago), and then ASHOLE can say, "See, we're doing a better job now thanks to these new regulations". Congress will a murmur a "ok..fine"..and things will go back to status quo.
In all this hysteria, people forget that it takes a SHIT LOAD of money & people to patrol, let alone, inspect and then enforce all the laws the apply to the internet. And with all the tax cuts this admin has given out..the money simply is not there for any widespread of truly effective enforcement.
Ask your Congressman/woman or anyone who knows how the DOJ works if they can indeed afford/have the manpower to enforce this law, and see what they tell you! They can't even deal with the freakin' terrorists that have active cells in this country, let alone some 18 year olds with a nudie website!
