And the purpose?? What was that again?? Ah yea, it's to protect children

this is not to protect kids. this is to attack porn! people should not forget this. Bush promised he would do it... he never elaborated on how really. we all don't need to be attorneys to know that prosecuting obscenity is not easy in the US and an easier route is to simply create regulations that most cannot or will not comply with and then start taking people down.
people often forget that the courts frequently agree with you and what you just said. its not likely that a judge would rule that this makes sense or that compliance is reasonable or even possible. people gave comments as the complications this would present as rules were drafted, but that is much different than proving it in court.
the government can make a new law tomorrow that we have to park our cars on the moon but it would not be too likely that the government could get a conviction and they would have to be aware that when it gets challenged in court (or they test it in court) its not going to hold up and can only backfire on them.
anyway.. its all very interesting. not really my problem since we don't operate as a US entity and maintain all records anyway. will be interesting to see where this goes. its definately one more deterrent for people thinking about starting a cam site.
