If the court doesn't throw out the secondary producer provisions of the current revisions, as the 10th Circuit did in 1998 with the original regs (Sundance Associates v. Reno), then yes thumb TGPs and similar sites by US based webmasters will become history.

I think the court will toss out more than just that part of the new regs, and if I understood what I read in an article about how the FSC plans to attack this issue the court may decide to toss the whole statute out and tell congress to start over.

Like a number of others around here, the only 2257 related changes I made to my sites to date is removal of a few galleries at the request of sponsors. Fortunately that has been minimal to this point.
