I agree, I don't think 2257 is going away any time soon, but I also don't think the DOJ really wants the law tested in court either.

Free Speech and privacy aside, the whole concept that I have to prove I'm legal rather than the gov't having to prove I'm not is a very dangerous precedent.

The other major issue is that the record keeping requirements are being applied to an industry that doesn't fall within the parameters of "highly regulated". Last I checked there weren't any certifications or licenses required to be an adult webmaster.
