Quite true, which is why I'm amazed at the feds' stupidity in this matter. Using literally impossible-to-obey 2257 regulations to wear us all out seemed like a better strategy than risking the kind of obscenity (read: censorship) prosecution that the feds have been extremely unsuccessful with over the past decade. Juries and judges don't have much patience these days with the feds telling adult taxpayers what they can watch in privacy. 25 years of endless Republican rhetoric about "getting the government off our backs" seems to have actually sunk in among the citizens, much to the religious right's irritation.
