If you join FSC now, you get no protection whatsoever: you had to be a member at the time the non-inspection agreement was reached.

And in any case, define "ok"? I get the strong impression that many FSC members are choosing to interpret a suspension of inspections as an exemption from the law. If so, a lot of people are potentially headed for trouble, when/if inspections begin.

It's highly unlikely any FBI would knock if you're not producing content, if they knocked for me - I'd point them to the sponsor of whatever pic they were enquiring about.
Which, if your location is indeed the UK, you can afford to say. However, in the US it would not go down too well if you had to admit to the FBI that you had never bothered to read the rules and made a whole lot of wrong assumptions about them.
