Quote - my guess is that, since the american president came out against it, it can't become law.  poser sites would mostly be affected by blue laws, but as in the case of computer-generated kiddie porn (COPA), we've seen that these laws can be struck down, if enacted. IIRC this site (and possibly other poser sites) already have a rule that those posting images here do so under the condition that they allege or aver that they own copyright. I ain't a lawyer.

Just because he's against it doesn't mean a, he won't sign it into law if it reaches his desk and b, if the President vetoes the bill, it can still go back and be voted into law by the Congress.  It's much harder and takes a larger majority to do so but it has been done.

Even if it is signed into law, I know two major Constitutional Law think tanks who are already preparing their legal challenges.  From what they tell me, there are a least a half dozen First Amendment violations and a half dozen more violations scattered across the entire Bill of Rights.

I'm not an attorney either but I do have a number of friends who are.
