Yes, I read that too. And I also read where they'll be sticking to inspecting video production companies in order to avoid checking info for the same model more than once.

Personally, I think any inspections of "the little guys" are a long way off yet, if ever.

My point being that the local Gestapo are still the ones to avoid. The odds of the Fed's showing up is extremely slim.

I think the lessons to be learned here, if not able to have an outside the home office/studio, is to be extremely discreet about giving out any personal information. Never use your home address for anything site related. Get a postal box for all snail mail correspondence. Also, a convincing cover story for the neighbors about what you do for a living is a must, as well as a plan for how to deal with any that do find your site on their own.

Just my 12½¢ worth.
