Just my opinion but Ashc rofts changes to USC 2257 were directed at the US not overseas. He will want to start "cleaning up" the US in his crusade and not go around screwing with overseas companies.

Just my opinion, but it will be interesting to see what he does with the revised law in 2-3 weeks time.

Remember he was hauled in front of Congress and asked what DOJ had done to enforce the law and had to tell them NOTHING. His excuse was the law was not right and needed changing. Did not tell us why he had not changed it already.

All overseas paysites/webmasters need to do is stay out of the US or make sure they have a 2257 compliant statement on the front of their site. Other than that the DOJ can do nothing, they have no powers or intention to inspect overseas records.

Content providers need to supply documents with content, but I've been preaching this for over two years.
