I believe I did read HR 4472 some time last year (but it has been a while.) If I remember correctly, it just seemed to clarify a few things...but didn't really strike down any pre-existing 2257 compliance requirement...but I may be wrong.
A link would be nice...after all, you're name is Linkster.
darnit: Yeah, just a few months ago all of my sites were 100% text, but like a fool I changed them. Prod has increased a little, sales are about the same though. I'll probably just end up reverting back. Thanks for the info, though.
GatorB: How is Google exempt? They are a website displaying explicit sexual images just like any other. Thats basically like saying if I were to hotlink all my content, I'd be exempt, right? But that's not the case. Please explain, if you will.
TTiger: I believe that if either you or your content are within the US, you must keep documentation. Either, not both. Since you're already outside the US, I'd switch to a host outside the US. Might be a bit of a hassle, but you wouldnt have to fear a knock on your door.
Thanks to everyone else who has replied thus far...
