You know all too well Far-L that the FSC is not going to do any press about this...
and why?
Because it brings too much heat for the BIG BOYS.
I am down to help in any way I can
I have donated to the 9/11 Fund
I have donated to the Tsunami Victims
I have donated to Make A Wish Foundation
I donate my money to places that I feel it will be well spent.
I don't donate funds to these charities for self gratification or for my own good press- I do it as a humanitarian.
If I really and truly could be told where this money goes and how it's spent- I would have made a donation by now.
I just don't see webmasters giving their money to an organization that specializes in bookstore obscenity cases.
And how do the webmasters know that their money is going towards the fight for 2257 and not Rob Black's appeal, book store owners, fighting for the interests of the BIG BOYS, or .XXX?
I'd like to know what operating expenses they incur- what kind of hotel rooms they stay in when they are out lobbying, and what their expenditures are before I give them my money.
It's a fair question- If they are a non profit organziation- then in my humble opinion people have a right to ask.

As a trade organization it is not a charity. Membership means support for your trade. If the internet wants representation on FSC then they should join and make their issues clear. FSC shows up to every show. It is not for lack of trying that the net is under-represented there...
Most of the points you make as your "criticisms" are purely speculative and without any foundation whatsoever. For example, the .xxx deal has been off the table for quite a while now.
The FSC not only protects the "big boys" since it has also addressed issues for talent like health insurance, standards and practices, etc.
Lyons is gone and with him went those issues. The FSC is accountable to its members.
Please stop creating a false impression through innuendo and supposition grandstanding an issue you have apparently ZERO stake in.
