question about 2257

[dutchboy]

It's not that I don't want to comply. No problem with that.

But I first want to understand.
Were can I find (understandable) information about this law. I have tried several webmaster forums, a lot of discussions about how this will influence the business but never have I found an explanation or reference to the law itself. Probably I'm not searching good enough. But within the enormous amount of postings and searchresults on Google it is very difficult to find the information.

So I thought I check out some of the wellknown sites

http://www.link-o-rama.com/
I can't find any reference to this law at all.

http://www.smutgremlins.com/ only has this text on the opening page

(all models at least 18 years old)
In accordance with Federal Labeling
and Record-Keeping Law (18 U.S.C. 2257), the records required by federal
law for this web site are kept on file

http://www.dangerdave.com.au/
has a complete page http://www.dangerdave.com.au/ which seems to me a lot of legal blahblah.

I suspect the law is not only about putting such a text on your site. That's easy. What is more.
