good find though. thanks for posting it.
Right I think that they'll be using the 2257 to help prosecute obscenity because of the dismal statistics stated in this report. It's amazing that about 1/2 of the cases weren't even brought to court because there was no evidence... so in essence.. they went to prosecute some poor innocent people who they had no evidence for!

So with the new 2257... all they need to prosecute is see that a site doesn't have the section 18 warning and they're set.. automatic guilt and automatic reason to investigate them for other stuff.

What's your take?
