an excellent point, but the "one voice" is referring to FSC's representation of issues that affect the adult biz... thefore FSC = one voice for the industry
The membership make-up of FSC is predominantly offline companies like video companies, but there are novelty stores, dvd distributors, etc. The internet section does not have much representation.
When Michele took her position with FSC, a few of us chatted with her about looking to include more internet related issues and she said she welcomed internet businesses.
FSC does look after its members interests first, which usually are in the best interests of all adult businesses.
Having more FSC members join, via this idea that sponsors can help facilitate having their affiliates join by promoting the idea, will bring in more card carrying members, show greater numbers of active members, and lastly, additional $$ needed to maintain a long legal battle.
Even in the internet space, there are many different groups... paysites, AVS, TGP, traffic brokers, CC processors, attorneys, other services (like t3report.com) , etc....
Choker was working on a plan to get the traffic guys together for contributions to FSC.
This OneVoiceAdult.biz is initally focused at sponsor programs, who have an affiliate webmaster base that they can target to galvanize support.
By having sponsors take the lead, they can help bring in the greater masses of affiliate webmasters to help.
Fight the cat herding voices!
