so has the government even been pushing the 2257 regs?

The Gub'ment just got one step closer to making it a whole lot easier to prosecute a great many more people today:

...and if you haven't heard of this bill yet, you may want to read the following three different takes on this bill, each with their own slight but read-worthy variation on coverage:

yea but these government official's main concern is child pornography. they most likely won't just shut down pornography as a whole. so as long as you aren't involved with CP there is no problem...

everyone has their jets ready to go to brazil and denouce their american citizenship

I would suggest going back and re-reading those articles as well as doing a little deeper research into how the government has historically dealt with cracking down on pornography. The government is doing what they have done for years... use CP as an EXCUSE to crack down on legitimate adult entertainment. The Anti-CP language, while obviously meant to cover the production of child porn, is largely a selling point to the media, the masses, and fellow congressmen to accomplish the bigger goal which is to reign in the adult industry in general. If this bill passes, it actually makes it easy for them to search you (now it is a criminal offense to try and stop them at all) as well as SIEZE your business holdings. Not to mention that this also now makes it criminal to produce obscenity in cases that 2257 did not priginally specify. This bill actually covers MORE people than the current 2257 regulations do... and even those who only focus on mere nudity in many cases. If you think it does not pertain to you, and you are a US webmaster, you have one hell of a surprise headed your way.
