It would be nice to see the heavyweights in the industry AVN, LFP, and the major adult studios fund FSC or launch some organization of their own that smaller players could then join for a more reasonable amount of money.

The large studios are paying a lot more than $500. Look again at the membership prices:
MANUFACTURERS / DISTRIBUTORS / INTERNET SERVICES / MAIL ORDER/ INDUSTRY SUPPORT SERVICES:
Annual Sales Volume :
$10,000,000 & over $8,000 per yr.
$5,000,000 -- $9,999,999 $4,000 per yr.
$1,000,000 -- $4,999,999 $2,000 per yr.
$500,000 -- $999,999 $1,000 per yr.
$0 -- $499,999 $500 per yr.
Talent Agencies, Production Companies, Law Firms $500 per yr.
Dance Clubs, Retail/Rental Stores, Websites $300 per yr.(Per site)
If you are a webmaster, they are asking for $300 per year!
Big companies like LFP and Vivid are the ones who put the bulk of the money into the organization. They put a lot more than what you see listed above into the FSC. Several of the bigger paysite owners also pay more in than the minimum $300. That doesn't mean that the little guys who benefit from their work should pay nothing.
Why should Larry Flynt pay 100% of the legal fees to defend your business?
Think of the $300 as insurance on the future of your business. How can you not afford $300 to protect your business and to protect yourself personally from prison?
$300 is less than it would cost you for one hour of the time of a good lawyer.
