So Did You Know - 2257
 

Just had an email come through that one of my content providers sent out - in it they state that the FSC is in court today in front of a judge - now - Im not a member - but I went and looked at their website and there isnt a shred of info about this - the newsletter from the 10th starts out talking about it but then whoever edited the newsletter screwed it up and pasted in a story about xxx domains halfway through the article

So how many of you members knew this was happening today?

There's nothing inside the members area either :(

But, they did say 10 days back on the 7th so........

:D

I actually heard that from the Ma trix people. They are holding off sending me all the pornstars personal information until the judge looks at this.

I'm sure there are so sweaty pornstars today.

I've seen lots of sweaty pornstars, but it didn't appear to have anything to do 2257. It was all that fucking. ;)

For some reason the lawyers are keeping it quiet according to this 2257 article I read today in "Wired". Not sure why. :D

Seems we have somewhat hit the mainstream media. ;)

thanks for that link, that was an interesting article. I read it twice, once from where I am now and once from about a year or 2 ago...funny how different it looks from this side.

I love this part
"the regulations were inspired by congressional outrage at a hard-core video performance by 15-year-old Traci Lords."
As Sparky mentioned to me the other day on the phone, she had a governement issued id saying she was of age. The producers would have been found not guilty.

There was something with the Lords thing that involved her using an alias that also contributed to it - I remember hearing JD speak about it in detail at a few seminars back in the day.

Those interested can read the entire thing here:

I remember having scans posted on my old BBS that we had to pull down because of that - and if I remember correctly one of the BBS sysops actually got popped for it

I think you are right but I think she used the alias with whoever gave her the Government issued ID. Of course, I could be completely wrong. I am going to have to research this a little. I mean, the circumstances with Lords.

Holy Shit, I did a search for Traci Lords and I am finding sites with pictures from her early movies. Still looking for information.

I perused that page & it's pretty much the story that JD told at the seminar (but I'm way to lazy to read the whole thing - LOL)

Yep, according to her, the Talent Agent gave her the fake ID which she showed to the Producer.

And then she became a Disco Queen

I remember the story well and as has been mentioned the 2257 would have done nothing to prevent this.

Jim - you might clear your cache after you finish today - as well as run a deep level format to get rid of all traces :)

Never clicked on the links. Just read the description and never went :)

I didn't inhale either. :D
