as may you want to pay attention to what you write:

now, if you are talking about pedophiles, then yes, that's the nature of that sickness. but it also reads much like porn in general is actively pursuing kids. again i iterate that pedophiles aren't known for using a known domain, even if it is redirected, to lure children. this is still done in the chatrooms and forums (AND MYSPACE). besides, unless you have an active live chat on your site, what good does it do if a child just visits? are you going to ask him to sign up for a newsletter in order to keep track of him/her?

i never said the site was being banned, just that this law, like most every other one the US government has drafted for the Internet is completely and arachiacly behind and so full of holes that it won't so much as slow the pedophile process, let alone stop it.

and who's to say the redirect or jump link was designed to attract children? because of the domain name? so now your domain name MUST match your content? hardly. if domain names are the problems, then another, probabaly much more effective fix would be to require all legitmate US porn sites use the .xxx suffix... ah but then, what do you do when the site originates from a foriegn country?

much like the dyke getting ready to burst, there are a great many holes that need plugging to effectively combat pedophiles and the net rings they use... but if you think this redirect edict is actually going to help in anyway shape or form, i can only say i hope you are right.
