Well this is just great... I've been off the computer most of the day thinking everthing was going to work out. Ha was I wrong! No I didn't join the FSC and glad I didn't now. How can shit like this happen? I know you don't have to tell me his name is Bush! Well I didn't vote for him what else can I do but just get angry which is not healthy.
God this is just getting worse and it sucks!! |

This "deal" is no less unconstitutional than the 2257 regs themselves. I would normally just laugh and shrug, but with the other news today about the Supreme Court ruling in the Connecticut eminent domain case and DoD creating databases of all teenagers it looks like the values that once made America unique are being flushed down the toilet. Anything is possible, maybe the sky is falling...

Every couple of years I feel the need to post something, I'm feeling the need again
I think the subject of this post reflects my feelings. The FSC can no longer claim to represent the adult entertainment industry. If the DOJ thought they would defeat the motion for the TRO they wouldn't have cut this deal. It's no more complicated than that. FSC have said their phone has been ringing off the hook with people wanting to join. The industry as a whole has been let down, and I know several FSC members who are unhappy with the situation. I have had misgivings about the FSC for a long time, hence I decided not to join, although it did seem for a while there that they were doing ok. I am now going to go and join the ACLU, something I should have done a long time ago, they seem like our best hope for a wide ranging long term fix. I find it very telling that the FSC described this as great news. |

I am seriously looking at offshore dealings for my main site. Not that I have anything to hide, and the costs are much more, but it makes me sick to see stuff like this in our country. With the internet being worldwide, it makes me what to share some with the rest of the world!

But my ass is right here in the USA, and I've read those regs again and again trying to find *something* I think the only way around it would be to transfer everything - domain registrations, payment, etc. - to a friend in Canada or somewhere and have them write you personal checks. Probably illegal as hell, and you'd have to really trust the person on the other end, but I suppose that might work. (But I'm not going to try it...was just a thought I had and then said nah) |

The Equal Protection provisions of the 14th Amendment only apply to the States, not to the Federal government. However, there would still be some major due process issues if the DOJ were to try and prosecute any "non-members" during the terms of this agreement with the FSC.

Maybe this is the only way the FSC can do anything. The members are identified and verified and so can be protected temporarily until the courts hash things out. But everything the FSC accomplishes from an injunction on will apply towards everyone won't it?

Are you sure you're an accredited and honored pornographer?
|
This whole thing should be thrown out and some more thought put into it. The FSC can shove it....This is an extortion tactic to get us signed up as members. I'll wait to see what they come up with. Is there some kind of icon they are putting on members sites to keep the DOJ off them?? I haven't seen one yet..... so how do they know if we are members or not.....they may give all that info to the DOJ hitlist as being people needing protection from the 2257 laws........something to think about.

and after thinking about it...why can't they make this easier on everyone...the content producer keep a list of all sites using the content and the website showing which content producer is being used. The producer keeps all records within his building and the DOJ doesn't have to visit 30,000 of us seems simple enough to me.

Oh lord, you guys...you could do 2 things, the way I see it:
1. Get a lawyer and file your own injunction (much more than $300) 2. Get 100% 2257 compliant and pray they don't come knocking It is Gonzolez vs. The Free Speach Coalition not Gonzolez vs. The Earth! Do you think all of the people that want porn gone to be part of the injunction? Nope. Grow up people...$300 ain't shit and if you can't afford it -- this obviously hasn't been working out for you and you should consider another job.

I dont know where ya'll are getting your history on 2257 - but it started being written under the first Bush and went through under Clinton - its been around for a long time - just nobody payed any attention to it including the DOJ
