The fact is that the feds are willing to throw in 2257 charges that in the past would have just been spam & fraud violations. Consider also they offer a deal to the spammer to testify against the 'legit' site that he has been promoting with non-compliant content. Even if he's totally lying his ass off that you knew you still have to spend at least a hundred k in attorney fees to fight charges off effectively at a federal level. 2257 is still a real threat.
There are a 1000 reasons the cops can decide to look into an adult webmasters business affairs. It just takes one nosey investigator with a hard-on to turn your life and business to shit. Your jealous girlfriend could turn you in saying you had child porn (even if you didn't), the UPS guy whose daughter goes to school with your kids may notice the volume of adult materials being shipped in and out of your home business, some one may break into your business while you're gone and the cops enter before you do, etc....just little, completely unavoidable things like this can start off years of a very well-publicised hell. Now go and fight a federal 2257 charge (even if it's bullshit) while you're at it. Fun, Fun.
