It's a nice press release, but I think they left a little tidbit out.

Specifically, this part:

" Kaplan made it clear, however, that if no preliminary injunction is issued, the government will expect adult companies to have complied with the 2257 regulations at least from the date that those regs were due to take effect: June 23, 2005. Further, if an injunction is issued and later rescinded, the government will take the position that 2257 records and all of the attendant regulations should have been kept and organized as per the version published in the Federal Register on May 24, 2005, and will prosecute anyone that an inspection reveals failed to adhere to those regs. "

I think FSC members, if they want to play it safe, need to realize that if the legal maneuvers fail in the end, the feds can go back to those sites, and if they weren't compliant today, bust them.

The way this is starting to sound is that some think "okay, FSC members don't have to comply until later" and that's not true according to AVN's article.

On the flip side, if FSC eventually prevails in court, then nobody has to comply.

What a mess.
