2257 regs published in full

If my main business was thumbtgps, I would be looking for a new line of business starting today. It would appear that thumb tgps will require 2257 documents for every thumb they show.

At this point, there are two court judgements (sundance vs reno and American Library Ass'n v. Reno) regarding secondary producers. One (sundance) specifically nullifies the concepts in these rules. The other (ALA) vaguely accepts in passing the concept of secondary producers. You can understand why DOJ has gone with the vague ruling in their favor as opposed to the hard and direct ruling against thier ideas.

I am 100% confident that an injunction will be put in place directly, as there is clearly some contridictory rulings in the court system.

That being said, as of June 23rd, thumbtgps will be a VERY risky business.
