You know the answer: there is no-one. But you have also sidestepped my questions about FSC and their agenda. You did mention a couple of names, but the ones I saw were people who are not primarily online porn operators.

What is "this fight"?

Many would see the best outcome as having the new regulations overturned completely. I assume (there's that word again) FSC will be attempting that, and if they succeed, terrific.

But a more likely outcome is that they will be successful in overturning or clarifying specific areas within the regulations. Which is where a clear definition of "this fight" matters. Most of us here have no direct interest in - for example - whether a DVD producer is allowed to put his 2257 declaration in his main menu. There are several other areas of interest only to offline operators and different areas of primary interest to webmasters.

In other words, there isn't one fight, but several. The point I have been trying to make is that the FSC site does not make it clear which issues they plan to try to tackle.

So the possibility exists - and I'm only saying it is a possibility because of the lack of information - that beyond sharing a common interest in overturning the regulations in toto, the aims of FSC have little to do with the interests of most here. In that case we still don't have anyone fighting our fight.

Which brings me to the reason I also wanted to know more about the rules of membership. If a few hundred webmasters have been galvanized by current events to join the FSC (rather than contribute solely to the 2257 fund), then if one member equals one vote there could reasonably be enough webmaster members to push the FSC agenda in our direction. But instinct tells me that FSC is not so democratic and that we shall simply be financing an existing agenda. And we don't know what that agenda is...

I'm only asking these questions because FSC may be everything that many are hoping for. But we don't know. And if it should turn out not to be, then we still face your question of "Who is going to take up this fight then?"
