 Webair or any host based in the US does not have any alternative except to comply with the law. To the extent that Webair disagrees with the law, its policy is to advocate for change through the democratic process, not to engage in unlawful activity.
 
 As such, to the extent that the Department of Justice, or any other government entity, has the authority to compel action by Webair, Webair will comply with its demands (as such with child porn).
 
 As a practical matter, however, the circumstances under which Webair could be lawfully required to shut down a client's Web site are extremely narrow, and the recent changes to the regulations implementing 18 USC 2257 do nothing to expand them.

This is a great thread... I know a lot of people are confused, so glad someone is clearing it up for everyone   |
