I'm keeping an eye on the FSC
www.freespeechcoalition.com for any announcements/press-releases that might be forthcoming concerning this. I recommend that YOU also visit that site, pay your dues, keep informed, etc.
FSC had done a stellar job on very sparse fundings to look out for ALL of us. Of late, FSC argued at the highest court in the land successfully on the COPA case, protected us secondary producers against 2257 when they obtained the 2005 emergency TRO from the 10th Circuit in Denver, and saved our butts in their work against .xxx.
Now, because FSC has been so successful, right-right religious hypocrits have bullied Congress into passing the Adam Walsh Act in which they added on the secondary producer aspect to counter the 10th Circuit's TRO that FSC successfully argued for.
In 2005, many joined FSC to gain the blanket protection against the secondary producer aspect of 2257. Now, as I understand it, DOJ is writing up the 2257A regulations to implement the Adam Walsh Act; Once published, I imagine FSC will be looking out for our best interests AGAIN.
To make certain that FSC has the financial means to best represent us, we ALL need to join FSC (go to
www.freespeechcoalition.com ), or to RENEW our now-expired memberships from back when FSC bailed us out in 2005.
It's important and morally/ethically right for us all to pay the proper membership fee based upon the FSC chart for company revenues, NOT just for us to pay the cheapest rate that's available as "individuals" instead of as entities/companies/categories/etc).
FSC has repeatedly shown that it gets results, so WE have to join/renew at the appropriate membership fee. FSC attorneys are personally dedicated to the First Amendment and work with the FSC on our behalf for a fraction of what they charge others. In my opinion, we ALL need to take care of our FSC membership arrangements (including the recategorizings into the proper rates for membership) ASAP!
Lastly, I recommend that you make
www.freespeechcoalition.com a periodic "must read".
Now, let's "pony-up".
