Here it is.... It's a little long here, but basically what is says is that the 2257 rules don't apply to tribe. Unless they go back to the old way now, they're lying about 2257, and they're really just gentrifying the site....
Here are the relevant paragraphs from the free speech coalition site...
"The other major victories are in the areas of live Internet chat rooms and webmasters who don't produce their own content.
As to the chat rooms, Judge Miller has ruled that to keep a "copy of the depiction" of the immense quantity of material generated creates an undue burden on a "chat room" operator, by which is meant "a performer on the Internet who engages in printed or telephonic dialogue with a customer while a simultaneous video image of the performer is transmitted." This would seem to include, at the very least, performers who have live webcams transmitting from their homes, as well as companies that employ performers to talk or write to customers while simultaneously posing in front of a webcam.
"It is a reasonable reading of the new regulation, however, that it requires the producer of the 'digitally-or computer-manipulated image, digital image, picture or other matter that contains a depiction of actual human being engaged in actual sexually explicit conduct' maintain a 'copy of the depiction'," Judge Miller ruled. "Plaintiffs assert that to do so would involve extraordinary computer capacity of terabytes (1 trillion bytes) and petabytes (1 quadrillion bytes) on an annual basis which could cost as much as $15 million dollars annually. Defendant does not present any contravening testimony concerning chat rooms. This evidence may present a substantial likelihood that the regulation is not narrowly tailored with regard to chat rooms since it may well burden substantially more speech than is necessary to further the government’s legitimate interest."
