    2257, FSC and what you should know

    People are misunderstanding these agreement and the letter that has been posted everywhere.

    The letter was directed to the plaintiff - FSC, they cannot address a letter to " all the US webmasters " if this a response to a FSC petition. It is a formalism!

    It would be inconstitutional to prosecute non FSC members.

    This letter is a sign that the DOJ thinks is not going to win the case, although if they do, after August 8th anybody could be prosecuted. So it would be wise to get your stuff compliant before August 8th just in case.

    This letter is for all of us, so thank the FSC, become a FSC member if you want, but this in no way means that if you become a member you have your ass covered!

    Ppl saying that the FSC is trying to get money of them are ignorants, just as the ones that are saying that if you pay you are covered.

    To make it brief, if FSC and other plaintiffs win = we all win, if FSC got an agreement = we all got an agreement, members and non members, if FSC looses = we all loose, members and non members.

        Which part of the constitution says that non-FSC member can't be prosecuted if the government makes a deal with FSC members?

          It is something very basic, if FSC members are exempt and the rest can be prosecuted, would basically mean that the law is not equal. Does it sound familiar?

            Where did you get your law degree?

            The press release from the FSC specifically says that "The government reserves the right to inspect and prosecute anyone who is not a plaintiff or FSC member"

            So you can theorize all you want, but I wouldn't take any chances.

                I am a lawyer, and the letter has to be addressed to the paintiff and the agreement refers to the paintiffs interests, otherwise this would be a collective action, wich technically it is not.

                  What's your bar number?

                  I just received this from my attorney.
                  It is particularly urgent that all clients establish membership in FSC and confirm all D/B/As at once.

                  More details will be provided as they become available.


                  Why would he send me that if it weren't neccessary for us to be members of the FSC?

                      maybe he thinks that a few more bucks would help if he misses anything ?

                        Also, I don't follow what you're saying.
                        My attorney isn't one of the attornies arguing the FSC's case, so he gains nothing financially by me joining the FSC.

                          so basically what people are saying is that a law applies to one set of people in this country and not all people? so is the going to be an amendment to the constitution protecting only the FSC folks? And who the fuck is the Free Speech Coalition anyways? Are they a bunch of lawyers filing briefs and shit like that? We'll protect your 1st amendment rights for a price!?!? well then thats not free speech now is it?

                            I am not giving any advice to anybody, it is just that a lot of FSC haters are showing off their ignorance, and some other people think that they will have their asses covered only if they are FSC members. If after Aug 8th FSC looses, members and non members will be fucked up.

                              Let's think about this logically for a second. The stated intent of the law is to help stop child pornography. So if it's true that ONLY FSC members are going to be helped by a deal, an injunction, or any kind of court action, that would mean the government is creating a "club", for lack of a better word, where people can join up and be exempt from certain child porn laws. Does that sound right to you?

                              Maybe you should ask your lawyer for a more detailed explanation.

                                I am not called the SENATOR for no reason. My lawyer already has about 2000 pages prep for any DOJ prosecution. An additional 5000 pages are sitting in my office. I am fully complaint. I rather cut my nose off to spite my face. I love Hebrew lawyers.

                                  I have nothing for or against FSC, but it would be nice and ethical if they clarify that the results are not extensive to " members only " since a lot of clueless people are joining and paying for it.

                                    nikad, I am no lawyer so your response is appreciated.

                                    I have a different reading than yours.

                                    Your point seems to be valid for cases when courts grant injunctions, for example. Events when there has been a ruling.

                                    But this is different. The facts are:

                                    1) A law has come into effect as of midnight.
                                    2) A suit has been filed and a TRO has been requested.
                                    3) No court has ruled anything, yet.
                                    4) A private deal has been struck between litigating parties by which the prosecution agrees not to enforce to litigants what they can rightfully enforce as of last night.

                                    This leaves open the possibility of the gov. inspecting and enforcing the regulations to any non-member.

                                    Remember, no injunction has been granted and the hearings will start in 40 days.

                                    What am I missing?

                                      We just removed every image on our site, to be compliant today.

                                      Is this not a necessary move at the moment? Is it just important to be compliant come August 8th now?

                                      I'm also Canadian, so I'm sure lower priority

                                        Well, I guess the 2257 regulations obviously have a legal frame to be valid, if the regulation can be enforced only to non members, then members can promote illegal content?
                                        The government has to stick to the law too, remember that the Constitution is the first law in the country. This is an agreement between the DOJ and has to be backed by the law, it is not just a spare private agreement.

                                          Is this not a necessary move at the moment? Is it just important to be compliant come August 8th now?

                                          I'm also Canadian, so I'm sure lower priority
                                          Personally, I would comply, FSC member or not.

                                            bottom line is no one is protected....get complaint with the new regs.

                                            Donate to the FSC, hire a Jewish lawyer who is familiar with hardcore paper work and the US Constitution.

                                              I would find it hard to belive that DOJ would go after non-members between now and 8/8. If they did, the ACLU would be on their ass like white on rice for selective prosecution.

                                                    and remember this also:

                                                    Ex post facto Law:

                                                    A law that makes illegal an act that was legal when committed, increases the penalties for an infraction after it has been committed, or changes the rules of evidence to make conviction easier. The Constitution prohibits the making of ex post facto law.

                                                                          I have a different reading than yours.

                                                                          Your point seems to be valid for cases when courts grant injunctions, for example. Events when there has been a ruling.

                                                                          But this is different. The facts are:

                                                                          1) A law has come into effect as of midnight.
                                                                          2) A suit has been filed and a TRO has been requested.
                                                                          3) No court has ruled anything, yet.
                                                                          4) A private deal has been struck between litigating parties by which the prosecution agrees not to enforce to litigants what they can rightfully enforce as of last night.

                                                                          This leaves open the possibility of the gov. inspecting and enforcing the regulations to any non-member.

                                                                          Remember, no injunction has been granted and the hearings will start in 40 days.

                                                                          What am I missing?

                                                                          You are dead on right.
                                                                          With an injunction, there would have been MORE practical relief for non-members (meaning the DOJ ain't going to go after someone, member or not, if they think an injunction is going to result in the striking down of the regs).

                                                                          However, with this private agreement, the FSC bascially is just covering it's own ass and telling everyone "Join us if you want protection!"

                                                                          I think the question Nikad is raising is that there MIGHT well be practical relief even in this private agreement as the same "fear" by the DOJ remains..fear that the regs may get struck down and ANY convictions would be then overturned meaning a lot of LOST money from the DOJ.

                                                                          Comment

So if it's true that ONLY FSC members are going to be helped by a deal, an injunction, or any kind of court action, that would mean the government is creating a "club", for lack of a better word, where people can join up and be exempt from certain child porn laws.

                                                                              Can't get much cleaer than that. The FSC sold us non-mebers out and what they are doing is really a mafia type shakedown. "Pay us money for 'protection' or else."

                                                                                      The letter was directed to the plaintiff - FSC, they cannot address a letter to " all the US webmasters " if this a response to a FSC petition. It is a formalism!

                                                                                      It would be inconstitutional to prosecute non FSC members.

                                                                                      This letter is a sign that the DOJ thinks is not going to win the case, although if they do, after August 8th anybody could be prosecuted. So it would be wise to get your stuff compliant before August 8th just in case.

                                                                                      This letter is for all of us, so thank the FSC, become a FSC member if you want, but this in no way means that if you become a member you have your ass covered!

                                                                                      Ppl saying that the FSC is trying to get money of them are ignorants, just as the ones that are saying that if you pay you are covered.

                                                                                      To make it brief, if FSC and other plaintiffs win = we all win, if FSC got an agreement = we all got an agreement, members and non members, if FSC looses = we all loose, members and non members.

                                                                                      nik

                                                                                        With an injunction, there would have been MORE practical relief for non-members (meaning the DOJ ain't going to go after someone, member or not, if they think an injunction is going to result in the striking down of the regs).

                                                                                        However, with this private agreement, the FSC bascially is just covering it's own ass and telling everyone "Join us if you want protection!"

                                                                                        I think the question Nikad is raising is that there MIGHT well be practical relief even in this private agreement as the same "fear" by the DOJ remains..fear that the regs may get struck down and ANY convictions would be then overturned meaning a lot of LOST money from the DOJ.
                                                                                        man how many times does someone have to tell you this:

                                                                                        You don't have to join the FSC to be part of an agreement. It is for the FSC and all the PLAINTIFFS, so if you dont want to be apart of the FSC then go hire your own fucking attorney. No one is making you join the FSC to be covered. You are very hard headed. You keep ignoring me when i tell you this which is proof you just want to bitch. period.

                                                                                                1. Did the FSC know that a revision to the 2257 regulations was in the works prior to June 2004 when the proposed regulations were announced?

                                                                                                2. Did the FSC ever attempt to meet with the DOJ to discuss the revision to the regulations prior to the open comment period? (To attempt to negotiate better language for the regulations).

                                                                                                3. Did the FSC make comments and provide evidence to support their comments during the open comment period for the revised regulations?

                                                                                                To me, these seem like logical steps that an organization would take to protect the interests of its members. Lobbyists act before the effective date of a law or regulation, not after. Just curious what, if anything, was done prior to asking the Court for an injunction.
