I never said I hated him, I said he was a dick.
First of all Jay needs some english lessons. You don't "file an injunction" you file a lawsuit. Then a judge may "issue an injunction"
The way Jay's thread title was worded led alot of people to believe that the judge had already ruled on the issue and that we were in the clear.
Then he says to "quit worrying about 2257 and get back to work" as if this is a done deal, and it's far from a done deal.
Hell even the people filing the lawsuit are advising webmasters to comply with the law until everything is settled in court.
From the FSC's website
FSC Recommends Compliance with Existing and New 2257 Rules & Regs....
.....However, being a member of the Free Speech Coalition does not mean that compliance is unnecessary. Every producer of actually sexually explicit conduct is covered by the existing regulations and the new regulations (which take effect June 23, 2005).
So telling people that they don't have to comply is way over the line IMO....if you want to have a cavalier attitude with your own business fine...but don't come on here with this bullshit about how "I have inside information and I know things and you don't have to comply with the law"
I certainly hope that the judge does rule in favor of the FSC on all counts, but I think it's stupid to tell people they can ignore the regs just because a suit has been filed.
