I'm not saying such detailed regulation is really necessary, but it's not really a huge barrier either. Just try to open a food truck (all the rage these ads). You'll find many more regulations than this. The answer to over regulation is political lobbying. A good idea would be requiring retirement of existing obsolete rules before being allowed to create new ones. Oh, wait, that's actually being done now. -mel

Establish your copyright policy and procedures. Have your lawyer review it. Make sure you comply with 18 USC 2258A regarding reporting and registration for kiddie porn, train your employeesAgain, would you rather follow these requirements, or deal with the consequences of not following them?
