What are you going to do about this 2257 shit?

IF this does go thru, I have a 3-part plan:

1) as an Australian who hosts in the USA, I will try as much as possible to comply. I will compile my docos and keep them here at my AU business location. I will put up 2257 links on all my domains with my AU address, knowing it will be impossible to verify my compliance and therefore hoping they will not be able to shut down my sites.

2) as a webmaster running my hunkmoney, I will supply non-sexually explicit banners to my US affiliates.

3) as a webhost, I will have (non-us) offshore servers available so I can give any chilihost clients the ability to quickly move their hosting offshore IF they need to, with no interruption in the high quality service they are used to.

IMHO, all webmasters, webhosts and affiliate programs should have a plan in place, but I will not miss the competition of those that don't

cheers,
Luke
