New Info On 2257 From XBIZ!
Seems there may be some 'good' news regarding a 'deal' brokered between the DOJ and FSC... See the link below"
http://xbiz.com/news_piece.php?id=9236 Unfortunately, we'll still have to wait until tomorrow to find out what it is... |
Here's hoping for good news!
Thanks for the link Pusher |thumb |
Read the PDF listed there and ya will see how hard the DOJ is going to come back on FSC at the hearing. i got thru first 12 pages of 35 and damn thats some hard reading.
|
While FSC attorney Jeffrey Douglas told XBiz that he could not reveal details, he said there will be an announcement tomorrow at 1:30 p.m., and it will be “big news and good news.”
That cool thing to see. |
While this does sound like good news, I can't help but be somewhat disturbed by the repeated implication that only FSC members will be covered. These guys are lawyers, they know better.
|
good news, hope the 'deal' brokered between the DOJ and FSC will be ok
|
The DoJ must not have a lot of faith in it's ability to push this law through if they are bending so early in it's campaign.

hmm...to sign up with FSC or not?...that is the question. tell ya what..if we are required to sign up I doing so tomorrow!

I don't want to discourage anyone from joining the FSC. I'm sure they have great plans, and any day now they'll start seriously lobbying for this industry so that bullshit regulations like this never see the light of day.
I'm sure that any day now, the FSC will have a PR department in place, so that damaging media reports (like the AP article that basically made us all out to be scoundrels who can't be bothered to check ids) will be quickly rebutted in the national press. And we won't have to wait for the EFF and Planet Out to insert well-considered articles. They could have had my $50 bucks, in a heartbeat. Fifty bucks times thousands of webmasters could equal enough seed money to actually do something worthwhile. $300 per website? Smells like desperation to me. I spent most of my life before the adult biz working in non-profit orgs. I know a money-grab when I see one. |
Fuck 2257

For days I've being reading this 2257 issue talk & from where I stand now I'll jump into Jim's wagon |thumb

Yeah People are naive sometimes To me it sounds like a desparate last minute pitch to snag in some members Big News Good News Maybe it should Be We have No Idea | We really have no Idea.
Maybe im wrong but I dont think The DOJ is going to broker any kind of deal just for a restraining order. |

Here's how the deal only protects FSC members:
http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary...tent_ID=231539 While the FSC has filed for a TRO (temporary restraining order), they have struck a deal with the Justice Dept for FSC members. This is a 'good faith' agreement with the Justice Department to not go after FSC members until after the court battle ensues (something AVN seems to think could take several months.) Everyone else in the business is fair game for the DOJ. I wonder if the FSC is realy going to keep pursuing the TRO now that the deal is done. For those of you that signed up, nice move. As for me, I'll wait until they win or fall on their face before I join. I still have yet to see their worth or mettle. So I'll change biz models until this shakes out. Everything about how they have handled this doesn't pass my 'smell' test. For non-members of the FSC who haven't pulled their sites or redid their 2257 info...buckle up. You just became the low hanging fruit. |
