Yes I do, now tell me why I should worry
You should not worry - life is too short for worries ;-))

However you should be aware that the 2257 is just one thing that they will throw at the industry - it doesn´t start and stop with new 2257 rules.

I say its better to fight them each time they show their heads, then it is to wait until they got every US surfer under control.

Chaos is what drives the internet - order is the breaks... From Stewart Dalzell/ACLU vs. Janet Reno COPA 1996

Quote:

True it is that many find some of the speech on the Internet to be offensive, and amid the din of cyberspace many hear discordant voices that they regard as indecent. The absence of governmental regulation of Internet content has unquestionably produced a kind of chaos, but as one of plaintiffs' experts put it with such resonance at the hearing: "What achieved success was the very chaos that the Internet is. The strength of the Internet is that chaos." Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. For these reasons, I without hesitation hold that the [Communications Decency Act] is unconstitutional on its face."
