And the obscenity thing from the sounds of it they are trying to keep porn out of the hands of children or people that dont want it thrown at them...

First about the obscenity, as stated in that article I posted above, if they want to actually even go against the type of pay per view porn that is distributed in major hotel chains, that has absolutely nothing to with cp or preventing kids from accessing porn. You have to actually check in the hotel and have a cc, it's pay per view and not "thrown in anyone's face." It's not very likely that an 8 yr old is going to be able to do this. Same thing with the show "Real Sex' on HBO. Cable is an "option" for people to purchase, it is not "thrown in anyone's face" and parents can block it with a V-chip in their tv to censor what their kids watch anyways. So they still want to censor very "softcore mainstreamish stuff" that has nothing to do with child porn or kids having access to it, they want to restraint ADULTS from having access to it as well and don't want to give ADULTS the option of even deciding if they want to watch it or not.
As for 2257, it has nothing really to do with copyright infringements or being a legit business. Say for example, most gallery makers who do this f/t probably have thousands of galleries with pics of thousands of models floating out there. Some of the content probably purchased, lots probably free content from sponsor, now they want us WEBMASTERS, not just content producers to have physical photocopies of their docs at our place of business. Most sponsors will not give all their webmasters hard copies of these docs, it's just almost impossible to organize and maintain and to get all these docs... And it would also invade the models privacy and give out all her info to thousands of webmasters... it's an impossible situation... Anyone who promotes sponsors would understand this.
