Post a list of your adult web sites and I guarentee you have some already breaking the current laws, we all do... how many people talking shit in this thread know the regulations regarding how your 2257 compliance and producers contact info is displayed on your sites? Font size in relation to the font on the rest of the page, etc... It's all in the existing regulations, how many people have bothered to read it in it's entirety on the DOJ site?
In a normal world I would agree, but this is BushWorld. They have an agenda to shut down porn, and there is a good chance that this is how they'll do it.

It's also very possible that the lawyers who are salivating over this are making it into a big deal when it's not. Dunno, but I don't want to find out the hard way.

Who's the better businessman? I'd say it's the guy asking questions and trying to learn, not the guy that comes up with smartass comments to try and make himself sound important.
Totally agree
