Ok, a few days back I had posted an article about Hollywood bitching about 2257 etc. I missed the implications in that article. Today I did some snooping and there is some scary shit going on that I am not seeing anyone raising the red flag over.
A bill was introduced in the House of Representatives on June 30 and passed by them on September 14th (passed 371-52). Although most of the bill relates to sexual predators and sexual offender registrations, there are at least several sections that could have a definite effect on the Adult internet.
I am still reading and figuring this all out, and I have to go to dinner tright now but I worked up the part that changes the wording of 2257 significantly.
Now, this is different (and probably much more important) than the 2257 changes that went into pseudo-effect back in June. Those were changes to the rules governing the record keeping requirements of 2257.
This is a change to 2257 itself.
