you might have 1000 webmasters in the year 2009 claiming in court that you are the reason they are not in compliance.

i would not offer any advice or suggestions on this issue.... other than to point people in the right direction to read the law and comments, point them to articles on the issue (xbiz and avn each have a few) and encourage everyone to do their own homework.

here is an example - you can tell people not to use hardcore images... but that can get you in trouble. its not about "hardcore". an image can be 50X50 thumb of a single strand of hard cropped from a hardcore image and you have to have the docs for it. so in clarifying something like this... you will be walking further and further down the road towards offering legal advice.

shit.
