HOWEVER,... if you are a non-US content producer and you want to do business with US webmasters, I would say it is greatly in your best interest to straight-up become 100% compliant, period. None of this wishy-washy "I'm like 99% compliant, I'm sure of it!" bullshit. All it's going to take is ONE of your US clients to get busted and you can kiss any further US business clients goodbye.
Aaron's a hardass and a stickler for rules, but on this point I'm going to have to say he's in the right. There is no room for "my content is kinda sorta almost-but-not-quite compliant" "Maybe 1 or 2 sets might not be okay".... no room at all for that. I would think that most if not all US-based business owners looking to buy content would already know this though.

As usual, you are dead nuts on.
It's not that US webmasters don't care it's just that they don't know what complaint is either because most of them are too cheap to hire the right attorneys, or any attorney at all for that matter, to help them sort it all out. They rely on the info they see posted on boards like GFY to keep them in check and or they simply take the provider at thier word that they are compliant.
"Well, his sig says: (FUCK YEAH. Dont miss out on a freaky content deal. 175 sets of quality
2257 compliant content $150.) so he must be compliant."
