It's all in how you look at it I think. I'm in the process of finishing up a project with some people in the Valley that consists of around 5000 adult dvd titles that have been databased, encoded in multiple speeds, and are pretty well web ready to sell -- WITHIN the framework of the proposed guidelines already. The only place that I have concerns are with the screen capped images from the dvds -- how to index those. I have a pretty good idea of how we're going to handle it and even with making a few changes to the system, it will still be ready to go in a couple of weeks tops.
My other big consulting client has a proprietary system in place with their own DRM on the videos, so once again, with the exception of the images, they are also already in compliance with these new proposed rules.
As with anything, any time there's change, there are casualties and opportunities.
The more crap that gets weeded out, the happier everyone doing serious business should be, imo.
