I still think this will be used mainly as a tool to go after targets they already have for obscenity charges. Such as extreme assocs for example.. They lost that case on obscenity,but with this new law, they could have probably nailed him on some sort of 2257 violation.
I agree with that to an extent. I think for at least any early government activity it will be used to prosecute "high profile" cases... but I do think there will be some "activist" types that will be very busy with their new tool too.
