But your initial comment was specific to 2257 and dealing with 2257 is a chore, pure and simple. Maybe you can explain how you think it's smart that thousands of webmasters representing large and small businesses will be separately paying for advice - much of it of dubious value because only a limited number of lawyers are experienced in this field - as to how to cope with this chore?
It isn't smart either that many will likely get their answers from the ton of (mis)information that is being dumped onto message boards. But if there were ever an issue which shows how far we still have to go before we can call ourselves professionals, this is it. And some of the "biggest guys in the biz" are the craziest of the lot: I'm sure several of them will each be spending thousands of dollars on legal opinion about this issue.
Except in theory, there is no competitive edge involved here. If this legislation survives any challenges, most will deal with it one way or another. Some will drop out of the business or be closed down, but even in the unlikely event a big sponsor goes to the wall over this, the impact on everyone else will be minimal. On the other hand, a trade association (if only for this one issue) could collectively save its members a huge amount of money right off the top, by providing a qualified interpretation of these rules and a template for how to deal with them.
