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?

my take? i think a lot of people are going to have their lives turned upside down for nothing. the hearing for the TRO is on THRUSDAY. the new regs go into effect THURSDAY. i think they are going to launch shock and awe, rack up a bunch of inspections and arrests quick. small time webmasters who have families and full time jobs are going to find themselves in deep shit. that's my take. even if the prosecutions are thrown out if an injunction is issued, think about how being arrested and held will effect people's lives.
i hope to god i'm wrong. i hope this shit is thrown out altogether. i hope nobody is inspected.
so called 'secondary producers' should be able to point to primary producers for records. that's it. end of fucking story.
this country is fucked. a small, vocal minority of religious psychopaths have the power to completely turn people's lives upside down. pathetic.
