That's good for the US govt because right now we all have the defense that the govt has declined almost all offers to provide guidelines and defintions. This will make it hard for them to prosecute past "offenses." AND, knowing what the standards are henceforth, it will be easier to comply.
2257 was a very bad and hastily written law. It tried to say that US publishers should have the documents, it defined a publisher as someone who alters/edits the content. Then it was decided in court that webmasters are not primary publishers. Was this a webmaster that altered an image?

Thw whole thing is a mess. Why do they not give guidelines? Cos they do not know what they should be.
