Violation of this law carries with it not only a federal felony charge but also one that classifies the guilty webcam producer as being a 'child pornographer' ... which in turn triggers all sorts of US 'sex criminal' laws and reporting requirements re informing straight job employers, local cops, new neighbors etc. Also, such a 'sex criminal' conviction triggers legal restrictions in regard to where you are allowed to live versus the locations of schools, churches, playgrounds etc. which, in the worst case, would prevent a convicted webcam girl from living in her own house should that house be within 1/4 mile - 1000ft (or whatever local laws say) of a school, church or playground.
Arguably, webcams originating from anywhere in the world that 'sell' their service in the USA are required to comply with this law. However, the 'reality' of enforcement of a US law on a foreign webcam is an entirely different story.
