If you live outside the USA but make your living doing adult internet, these proposed 2257 changes also affect you. One only has to look at the way the Feds approached online gaming to see how. First the Feds could always seek to indict those expats who just move their business elsewhere. An actual indictment might not be the method, it may be something as simple as putting your name on a detainment list for INS, making reentry to the USA difficult.

Secondly the Feds could chase the money and not the website. IBILL/CCBILL/PAYCOM/JETTIS are all USA based companies. The Feds could squeeze down on them so hard that the billers will not accept traffic from secondary producers unless 2257 ids are in order. I can already see the Feds making inquiries to the billers with key words like "RICO and CONSPIRACY and MONEY LAUNDERING and PATRIOT ACT" to shrivel the nut sack of the biller's legal dept. If passed as proposed, these 2257 changes will affect non USA based webmasters, you can bet on it.

Hosted galleries & plug ins will become more popular. Site owners will also need to learn to rely less on affiliates

2257 Does not apply to non explicit content (as asked above)

Internet models can kiss their personal privacy & safety goodbye

It's simply not possible to apply today's rules to content shot back as far as 1990.

and oh yeah..... Viva la Canada

If Bush wins, we're in for some real hell! First term was the warm-up. Face it, Channey isn't gonna run for president in 2008. So it will be balls out to accomplish all of his pet projects.

There will be a down side to Kerry too, we just don't know what it is for sure yet.

None of that will save you if you are a US resident

Non-US incorporation might help though

not everyone in the porn industry is a USA resident or a USA citizen

To add to the non-American hosting/billing/whatever move, what about people geo-targeting American traffic to softcore galleries only? Would it be possible or even make sense? That way the feds working in America (of course) would not be as likely to see your harder tgp galleries or whatever the heck you post.

non? I could be way off base here. I don't know much about targeting.

Bad laws need to be broken. Seriously.. I can't see anyone who even works at it being in full compliance.

their isn't going to be any "low hanging fruit" for Acacia to pluck.
All the record keeping will force the little guy out.
Acacia is out of biz and out of luck on this one.

all that will be left is a couple of the biggies who can pay for the extra over head.

porn is going to get very expensive.
