The New 2257 Rulings - What now?

Bill and Linkster, a qualified yes. I am usually ahead of 2257 matters before they hit the board and attempt to anticipate changes that effect the script.

Linkster, you will recall in July in the infamous "Staff Meeting", as I was discussing the age verification issue I referred to the fact that Congress were doing a end around on the 2257 court litigation. We made a few changes in the script but nothing big. The new law, as most do, require that regulations be written. It has been several weeks since I did a search but I do not believe the AG has issued any new regs on this. I look for the old regs to be used. If so the qualified yes becomes an affirmative.

Do I think everyone needs to drop all their work to rush out, buy software and implement it to maintain 2257 records? No! The day will come when all US webmasters (primary and secondary - the same under the new deal) will have to keep a complicated set of records but the smoke has not cleared yet.

For

sakes, don't anyone panic and do something stupid. Last time when the "sky was falling', some good folks got hurt.

Chop - the only reason Im so adamant about it is that the law actually had editorial requirement changes to the 75.1 definitions and the 2257 requirements - although I dont see anything in the federal register where they have updated those docs I am pretty sure that if the law has been published - the regs are considered amended on that date (which by my calcs would put it on 22nd of Sept last year)
