If you live outside the USA but make your living doing adult internet, these proposed 2257 changes also affect you. One only has to look at the way the Feds approached online gaming to see how. First the Feds could always seek to indict those expats who just move their business elsewhere. An actual indictment might not be the method, it may be something as simple as putting your name on a detainment list for INS, making reentry to the USA difficult.
Secondly the Feds could chase the money and not the website. IBILL/CCBILL/PAYCOM/JETTIS are all USA based companies. The Feds could squeeze down on them so hard that the billers will not accept traffic from secondary producers unless 2257 ids are in order. I can already see the Feds making inquiries to the billers with key words like "RICO and CONSPIRACY and MONEY LAUNDERING and PATRIOT ACT" to shrivel the nut sack of the biller's legal dept. If passed as proposed, these 2257 changes will affect non USA based webmasters, you can bet on it.
