Email received from Matrix this morning...

Dear client,

As you know new 2257 regulations are to go into effect on June 23.
As our clint we want to make sure that you are fully compliant with
the law and are free to conduct you everyday business using our
images without concern. As the old regulations stood we have always
provided you with the required documentation. Our new system is
ready to provide the new required documents. The difference is, we
will have to provide IDs without sanitization. Meaning we have not
removed any information from the id. As you can imagine, this
concerns us greatly. We feel that this requirement violates the
privacy and safety of our models, yet as the law stands we will be
required to do so. If you are not up to date with the current
actions of the FSC and other attorneys, they have filed to stop this
new regulations from going into effect. The first day a judge will
be looking at this is tomorrow(Thursday). We are hoping that these
new regulations will be thrown out or at least modified to protect
the models. The attorneys feel very strongly that they will be
successful. Finding out this information Wednesday morning has made
us desice to hold of releasing the sensitive information till we have
had or day in court. The best thing that will happen is all of this
will go away and it's biz as usual and you will be compliant as
always. I know we are all hoping for this result. On the other hand
if not successful we will compile with the new regulations and
deliver to you the required 2257 information. So we hope you
understand and agree with our decision to wait one more day. If it
was not for the models we would not be in this business. Below you
will find you username and password to use to update your records, if
we are required to. As soon as we know the out come we will email
you what was the final verdict. Again let me take the time to thank
all of you for supporting Matrix Content and enabling us to do what
we love.

It mentions the FSC meeting with a judge on Thursday, which is today, but I can't find any other news or information about the meeting. Anyone know anything about this?

One week!
