We do want to keep "master" in webmaster. To do so we must be "masters" of our own destiny.

The DOJ is interested in controlling the CONTENT. The DOJ doesn't care if the content is on a DVD, website, photo, or VHS tape. It is all about the content and the 2257 regs are about controlling and eliminating the access of Americans to that content and putting controllers of the content in federal prison for a couple of years if they don't have their paperwork PERFECT.

The proposed 2257 regs affect everybody from the biggest DVD porn mogul to "Joe GeeK" working his hosted porn site after work from his livingroom. The regs affect us all.

To protect ourselves, we should do the following in my opinion:

1. Make doubly-damn sure you have no underage content on anything under your control. If you do, just shoot yourself now and save us all a lot of grief.

2. Make sure minors cannot access your website. If they can, you should paint a really a BIG target on your t-shirt.

3. Deal with reputable content sources that have the 2257 information documented for your websites. Having that documentation in your grubby little fist makes you closer to bulletproof. Having foreign content with documentation in Western Moldovia isn't going to help you. Paint another target on back of t-shirt and make it dayglow.

4. Call, write, email, telegraph or stop by in person the Free Speech Coalition and JOIN!! Do it today, do it now, and do it fast.

"Why should I join?" you ask.

One really big reason........When the DOJ issues the new revised regulations, they can begin enforcing the guidelines IMMEDIATELY.
This means you can be audited the same day if they really want your ass.

When the regs are issued, as soon as possible, the Free Speech Coalition is going to challenge the regs in Federal Court. When they do, the FSC will ask for an injunction from enforcement which they will probably receive. The injunction from enforcement will only protect those people with the foresight to be MEMBERS of FSC.

Hopefully, the DOJ will not go after webmasters who are not members of FSC; but, your protection is not guaranteed unless you are a member of FSC.

4. Call your 1st Amendment attorney and see how much it would cost to file your own lawsuit in Federal Court and compare it with the cost of joining FSC. I'm sure you'll see the FSC is the REAL bargain of the day.

I hope this has been helpful. Good Luck and Godspeed to all.
