I do understand your point. "child protection" is a much broader scope than shutting down "child pornography". to me, the name change was a symmantic issue for mainstream acceptance.
the name change was needed to get the non-profit status approved and more acceptance by mainstream be trying to keep the acroymn of ASACP and removing the "adult", "child" and "pornography" words.
if you can think of better words to fill in for A.S.A.C.P. to keep the branding, but yet serve the objective of being more digestable to state of california and IRS, and mainstream, then the input would be interesting.
if your argument is that ASACP should have kept its name and only worried about getting funding from within the industry, then i do acknowledge your point.. but before this .XXX thing came up, have you ever been a member when it was Adult Sites Against Child Pornography?
Not putting you on the spot, SO MANY webmasters are not members, you can see the membership list online.... where are those "Adult Sites" who are "Against" the "Child Pornography" website memberships applications in the 7 years the organization has been around?
If you were a previous member, and then decided to quit because of the name change and because of the .XXX issue, then your position would hold alot more credibility.
This is no different than FSC making the position that if you are not an FSC member, then you are not covered under the injunction they are receiving. Only stakeholders have the "right" to vote their thoughts, and that is done with $$$.
so for all those that are giving ASACP flak now, after 7 years of all the work they have done, and you have not been a member...... please use the can of hyprocrasy spray to remove the flatulence.
Fight the Farts!
