I reviewed both your patent applications:

10/644,635 - filed on 08-19-2003

and

60/404,737 - filed way back on 08-20-2002!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that I was mistakenly assuming that you were 'one of us' with a common vested interest in our success as an adult industry with a heathy set of rights.

Your patent applications suggest that this (my2257) is the invention of a group of lawyers who recognized the incredible opportunity 2257 offered back in 2002 - especially if a conservative executive decided (in future) to tighten the screws by enforcing and/or increasing the restrictions.

It does NOT take 2 years to develop a network synchronized DB application (I've been developing commercial software since since 1979). I suspect that you have been squatting on the patent and *hoping* that 2257 would become the nightmare it has for your own personal gains. Your (inventor) resume suggests that you have specialty expertise in Internet Law for adult industry, and as council for other webmasters (visa vi your legal seminars/workshops) you certainly would have had the forsight to recognize that some day 2257 could be a goldmine for you - regardless of how bad the legislation is and how much harm it may cause. But instead of using your skills to address the problem, you chose to posture for profit from the problem.

By applying for the patent, instead of contributing and facilitating a multi-faceted technical effort (visa vi open source, shareware to HELP webmasters deal with this) for developing any recordkeeping applications should they be required (if FSC fails in its attempts), you locked the door and, as per some of your 'warnings' to competitors (earlier in this thread) indicated, that there is a toll to pay now and you are the toll keeper.

I think I hit the nail on the head when I compared your 'contribution' to that of a personal injury lawyer - vital service, but someone has to get hurt for you to make a buck.

So here we are, again, as usual, with lawyers working on one side (the great team working with FSC to defend our rights) and another bunch hoping for blood.

Some things truly are constant.
