I guess the biggest issues you will see going forward is that the only online issues that FSC seems willing to get involved in are those that also directly affect the video industry. They are old school in that way of thinking.
The good news? Continued convergence between the video and the online world means that soon enough, our issues will be there issues. If the FSC was a actionary rather than reactionary organization, I think they would be well placed to get the dialog between the parties up and running and make the world go around.
At this point, nobody with knowledge really appears to speak directly for the online industry. Cambria's testimony in Washington shows someone who is obviously well informed about the porn industry, but has little practical understanding of the online world beyond what he has been told or overheard in meetings. His answers often did not speak well or clearly for the online world. In fact, I felt that his words and intentions could be interpreted to show an attempt to torpedo the existing online industry, hoping for the consolidation and takeover of the online world by the video people.
FSC still has way too many connections and influences from the video world, and as such, I don't think can be clearly trusted to speak up for the issues of the online industry alone.
