OK, I need to know...
Everyone knows my opinion on 2257. Nothing but hype...nothing will happen. We are getting scammed by fear mongers and doom and gloomers.
Who agrees with me? |

Jim as much as I want to agree with you, I just think it's a start. I am not saying they will be coming after everyone, but I do think they will be going after some.
And I can not tell you how I hope I am wrong. |

At first I thought that this would really cause some problems for us, but now I doesn't really think that it's a reality anymore. But, I believe that the ones that are going to get problems are those that have only used sponsor content for their sites/galleries.

People are already having problems. People are taking down sites, sponsors are shutting down etc. etc. Whether or not these (mostly fear based?) actions are rooted in a real danger remains to be seen, but the law is there, and it would be foolish to pretend it doesn't mean anything.
Personally I started out out with a "fuck this, come and get me" attitude. Since then I've bounced between the extremes depending on time of day and what posts I've read (Jim vs RawAlex) and ended up caving in and giving the FSC my 50 bucks. As much as I disagree with the way they have handled things, they seem to be my best bet at the moment for any kind of protection, however temporary and feeble it might be. Apart from that I haven't done a thing, not removed a picture or a banner. If in the end the DoJ wins and starts a witch hunt I can wipe my server with the click of a mouse button. I've already started to research living costs in Chile.

I don't think any thing can happen. I just don't see how if what we are doing is legal how they can do anything to us. If We aren't breaking the law, what can we be charged with?

I have been pondering this for days. Plus I have been discussing the situation from every avenue with my legal advisors: my father , my wife and of course, a higher power. They all agree that this is just a stinky bucket of shit. Nothing will happen as a direct result of 2257. Shit is happening due to fear, but that's about it.

To be more clear...when I say having problems I mean real problems. Not problems caused by paranoia.

See, it gets really personal when I see my friends going out of business because of this hype. Why is it that the only stories from the mainstream is how we are panicked?
If this were a serious problem, I guarantee you that the ACLU would be involved. |

It does my heart good to see these results. I had thought that most would believe the propaganda. But it seems that cooler heads prevail.

Can we have an option inbetween those two?
I don't think 2257 will be a widespread enforcement, but I believe a small group will get nailed with it. |

Just because I don't care doesn't mean I don't understand!

Seriously though, it seems to me the DOJ would try to nail someone with 2257 after going through the trouble of revising it. Unless they just wanted to try and scare off a few adult businesses, which is what they want anyway.

I truly believe that the DOJ, if they go after anyone will be child pornographers. And rightly so... They claim that is what this law is for.

You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on

Yes, for the most part I think this is a lot of hype. I do think they will haul in a few small timers here and there but they will just get a slap on the wrist. Nobody is going to jail for 5 years for running a legit porn site. It's just a lot of scare tactics. Fuck 2257!

I fear 2257 prosecution the way I fear NY's law against driving while on a cell phone. No one gets pulled over for that and it's pretty blatantly ignored. Of course, I don't own a cell phone.
