No you won't...
If the injunction is granted, the effect should be to halt prosecutions until the issues raised are resolved. It may also extend to halting inspections, but what it is unlikely to do is to stop the DOJ collecting information to be used later if 2257 if not overthrown completely, or substantially changed.
It is not only possible, but since I cannot imagine whoever the DOJ have lined up to work on this just sitting on their hands, likely, that from June 23 they will be collecting screenshots of sites to compare with the owners' records if they inspect later. So if you are not compliant, you had better hope this incarnation of 2257 never happens.
And just to anticipate the reaction here when the injunction is granted, just remember that to give a temporary restraining order, the judge only has to be convinced that the plaintiffs have raised some potentially valid issues. But granting a TRO is not any kind of judgement on the issues themselves: that doesn't happen until after the parties have presented their cases in detail. A victory tomorrow will obviously be better than a loss, but it is only a very small first step in the right direction.
