Slow down, catch your breath, and relax.

Do you do anything that would give the DOJ a reason to knock on your door? Do you plan on posting questionable content any time soon?

Yes, we're going to see a bunch of pages come down in the very near future, but I'll bet most of them coming down will be due to panic and fear.

Give your sponsors a chance to spend some money on attorneys. You helped them earn it, now it's time to see it get used for something other than stupid contests and Internext keggers. Soon enough, they will report back with the hard facts, not just bullshit speculation.

No one reading this is going to jail. You aren't going to be arrested in another month for being an adult webmaster, not even the month after that. You don't have anything to fear. You really don't. Let's be smart and patient. Just stay calm and stay tuned in here to good old Greenguy & Jim's Ultimate 2257 Resource Board. Besides, where else are you going to learn how to properly douche a gay midget?

Agree with others, Alex thanks very much for all the solid input on these matters

Gotta give another big thumbs up to UW, the commments above are some of the most solid advice in this entire thread. The sky is not falling...at least not yet.

While I certainly don't agree with MANY things the US gov does, I also have a VERY hard time envisioning an honest webmaster being LOCKED UP for 5 years due to a CLERICAL problem. Hassled...possibly...annoyed probably...but locked the fuck up because you don't have all your ducks all lined up nice and pretty? Locked up because the folks on your site...that you CAN prove ARE over age...but you haven't shut down business for several weeks to go back to hundreds or thousands of sites...sites you built years ago...you haven't gone back and fulfilled these INANE documentation requirements??? Locked the the fuck up for a clerical issue? Sorry folks, perhaps I'm too naive (doubtful)...but I REALLY don't see ANYONE getting locked up over this...at least not anyone who is doing business above board in the first place.

Now, UW has given us some good advice. Let's let the sponsors and the FSC deal with this crap. I'd bet there WILL be injunctions...and BEFORE folks start selling off their businesses...or renting office space...or moving fucking hosting...let's see what the final version of this looks like. Get your ducks in a row...but common sense SCREAMS that what we see now...is not what will be enforced. IF any enforcement happens at all!

My plan is business as usual. I'm a business man...nothing more...nothing less. I certainly don't deal in cp, or be*st crap, or anything illegal. I'd challenge anyone to find anything illegal on my servers or my local drives. Hell, I even have a rule on my link list to keep the text friendly to women...no need to degrade women to sell sex. SEX IS FUN people!

IF the US gov wants to drag my ass into court (I look great in a suit btw )...the media would have a field day seeing an honest hard working business man in court over fucking clerical errors. And I have absolutely NO FEAR about being locked the fuck up. This is NOT 1950's Russia...it's just not gonna happen folks. At least not to those of us who are in this as a business and aren't involved in the seedy underside of this biz.

Geez, let's get some work done...there are horny surfers out there...and they WANT to use their credit cards

Oh, last comment...definitely support the FSC! They are our voice in this...a very worthwhile cause. And they very well may have a significant impact on what clerical requirements will be enforced.

Now, I'm off to sling some porn...I can just smell those surfer credit cards...mmm...yummy

I was nice about it the first time, but I refuse to be nice about it the second time.

EDIT:

As a government employee [not law enforcement] I can tell you this much: the saying you can't fight city hall isn't entirely true, but it's damn close. What it boils down to is this: if someone has a big enough bug up their ass then they'll gladly piss away a day or more of their time (using your tax dollars) to come up with creative interpretation (see bastardization) of an existing reg to do what they damn well want. Then the problem becomes that you're going to have to defeat the twit using your time and your dollars while they're leaning back in their chair whistling dixie and not breaking a sweat since there's no personal liability in it for them either way. It really is an ugly thing.

I to agree with useless and if I have to I'll be sitting on my porch building porn with a shot gun inside the door if any of those mother fuckers want to mess with me and maybe in my boxers and also I live in a not so friendly part of town and if the protesters want to come over the more the merrier...

Might I suggest an office in ever scenic Newark, NJ or Detroit or South Central LA or that part of Washington, D.C. where no one goes out at night? hmm 2257 violator or the crack house next door... decisions, decisions, decisions.
