In truth, until the new regs are published in the Federal Register, nobody knows what they will/will not contain.

In my opinion, leading directly from FSC's efforts:

1. 11 years of secondary producer liability seem to have been eliminated with a new effective date of July 2006 (Adam Walsh Act).

2. The DOJ now seems to accept the idea of third party record keepers....a real improvement for secondary producers.

3. Cam sites are not going to have to retain each and every, entire performance.

4. Hyperlinks and mouse-overs will be allowed.

5. Performer personal info can be redacted.

While I, personally, think there is much more work to be done on these regs before they could be acceptable to the industry. I do thank the FSC for their efforts and I can see some results of their efforts in these new regs.

I see the effects of Rondee Kamins everything you mentioned is why the 6th circuit ruled in her favor, the FSC didn't so much as file an amicus brief, which in retrospect is probably a good thing, they have just fucked it up.

The FSC didnt do a fucking thing...as usual.

dont get me wrong redrob, I think I know who you are (austin) and there are some decent folks in the FSC - you, kernes, dave cummings...but you guys are being led blindly by a bunch of fast talking do nothings that make up your board of directors and your executive (mis)management.
