ok, i'd like to know why, despite assurances, none of them have bothered to come back and address or even update those of us here.

and why, after being challenged to "go public" and sending personal email, not even an email was sent to announce this meeting.

You might want to check your spam box...I noticed my FSC emails were getting flagged as spam too.

Well, I could bombard you with questions, but lets deal with one or two at a time...

Did they talk about money much? What do you think they are planning to spend the bulk of their money on the rest of this year?

How much did they mention or talk about the online sector?

Who were the most interesting people there, and by interesting I mean of use to the online sector and with enough juice to exert some influence?

Not at all.

Yes. There were actually more online people than video people at the meeting. Slowly, I think they are getting the message.

The lawyers are always the best. They had like 3 of them. One guy was doing the Utah litigation. Jeffery Douglas was supposed to speak, but he was in jail...apperently, there was a riot in the county jail (where he was visiting a client), they locked the whole thing down, and he got stuck in there.

He's really an amazing guy. Very intelligent, loves to stand up to the goverment, seems to be into it for the right reasons, and doesn't seem than concerned with money.

I agree. I remember when you could look at the board and there was nothing but 2257 threads.

2257 has a temporary injunction (restraining order) against the "secondary producer" verbage in 2257 for FSC members. It is unlikely the feds will do anything to any secondary producer while the law is enjoined, but technicly the injuction just covers FSC memebers.

Menwhile, Congress is now attepting to re-write 2257 again and include secondary producers in the new draft. The new 2257 draft is going to be expanded to include mere nudity (including R rated films). If they do push it through the current 2257 injunction will be moot and the whole litigation will have to start over again.
