Dave, the difference this time is that the FSC, if they choose to remain a free speech organization, will be attacking a law rather than an "administrative clarification". In theory, it is much more clear cut when you are dealing with an act of congress rather than the mindless noodlings of overzealous paper pushing pinheads who think they can write new laws.
The republicans figured out pretty quickly that they would lose in court on this one, and decides to end around and write into law what the paper pushers had proposed. Thankfully, it isn't hard to see where much of the new law will limit free speech by imposing near impossible restrictions on people involved in the production, editing, manufacturing, and distribution of adult material.
Further, I think that it will be clear to show that most (if not all) of the changes to 2257 did not meet the government's stated goal for the law, and that keeping hundreds or thousands of duplciate records all over the place doesn't stop a single piece of CP from being produced and doesn't protect a single child.
Hopefully FSC will have enough time away from crusading on piracy to take this on.
