Non US Webmaster's view on 2257

There seems to be a lot of animosity between US webmasters and non US webmasters over 2257. People seem to be getting angry that non US citizens are taking your new 2257 regulations a little lighter than some of you would like.

As a Canadian, I'm sorry your government was able to pass such a ridiculous law. I stand with you in fighting it, and I'll even help fund Free Speech Coalition to everybody's benefit. Please try to understand if non Americans could make these laws vanish, we would without a doubt.

That being said, I will bind my business by the laws of the land that I live in and operate my business out of, Canada. Much as I won't be bound by China's laws banning pornograhphy all together. I refuse to be made a record keeper by the US DOJ. I'm sorry this upsets some US webmasters but that's really out of my control. Please don't confuse this as disrespect for your plight.

Please understand as a non US webmaster, I have all kinds of other challenges. It's more difficult for me to setup with third party billers and I pay much higher taxes, to name just a few.
