Hi All

I'm new here and was going to introduce myself in another thread but got all caught up reading this one. So hi to everyone.

I'm in a bit of a dilema with 2257. I live in Canada where we have just passed major privacy laws to protect peoples information.
Even large main stream compaines have to have links from their sites to privacy policies. No information of any kind from any person can be publicly displayed on a web site, in print magazines etc.

http://www.regulations.gov/freddocs/04-13792.htm

I have read this link on 2257 and as far as I see 2257 has already passed and they are now amending this law to add further insult to injury.

My Dilemas:

If I were to follow this Law I would be breaking the laws in my own country.

How will this effect traffic trades when I can still display hardcore on my main pages while others in the US can't?

How will this effect gallery submissions to my TGPs?

What about hardcore link back buttons I ask webmasters to use on their galleries? What about banners full page ads. Geez where does it stop.

So their you have it. Dazed and Confused by all of this.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

I'm waiting for a legal opinion from Canadian Internet attorneys of what I can do but need the advice from US webmasters for the other stuff like trades etc.

Thx all
