Nope nothing. I contacted Backlash who are an organisation set up to promote freedom of sexual expression. they helped the owner of Urban Chick Supremacy Cell (one of the domme sites targeted first in atvod's new regimen) beat ATVOD last year http://mstytania.net/2014/08/29/how-back...-bullying/
They told me that as things currently stand ATVOD are only going after sites and services that they think are 'television like', and that seems currently just to be ones that have been specifically reported to them. However since they have the power to fine anywhere from $35,000 plus and take down your site/ profile, it's really worth researching what they consider to be 'television like' (this seems arbitrary and changes all the time), and if you have your own site making sure that your videos are behind a firm, age verified pay wall (no debit cards), and if you have very hardcore fetish oriented content then you really need to be careful as it may (probably will) contravene ATVOD's obscenity rules which are based around BBFC's R18 guidance. There is more info here although it may now be out of date http://www.melonfarmers.co.uk/me_atvod.htm
AW have not said anything beyond describing their age verification roll out procedure. Don't wait for the sites to tell us, we have to protect ourselves, do the research and make sure we don't get stung by this when it does come into force.
