"Most Internet sex sites won't immediately have to follow expanded federal record-keeping standards, thanks to an 11th-hour deal with the U.S. government."

This is absolutely incorrect. First, the deal applies only to members of the Free Speech Coalition, almost certainly not "most" sites. Second, while the deal delays government investigations and prosecutions of FSC members until August 9, the law went into effect on June 23; so anyone in violation of the law as it's stood since last Thursday may be subject to investigation and prosecution in August if they're an FSC member, or Monday morning if they're not. The judge hearing the case in August may make a decision changing this, but this is the situation as it stands today.

Thanks for calling that to our attention. We've fixed the story to be more clear on that account.
