I don't agree, but then let's come at this from another direction...

The 2257 regulations, together with the preamble, ran to 16 pages if memory serves. Anyway there are many points within it which can be attacked, firstly as a basis on which to have the whole of the new regulations overturned and secondly to have specific areas rejected or changed.

The first step is to seek an injunction, which is relatively simple to achieve since essentially the judge only has to be convinced that there can be a reasonable legal case made against the new rules. Which is not to say that the granting of an injunction is automatic, but nor is it much of an indication as to whether the plaintiffs will eventually be successful.

Up to this point, whether you make porn DVD's, run a sex shop, or a website, it's all good. But once the real struggle starts, that's when it becomes important that different sectors of the porn industry have different priorities. As a matter of good strategy it is unlikely that the FSC legal team will fight every single possible aspect of the regulations which is potentially open to challenge. More likely, they will pick specific issues and although the intention will be to shred the regulations and thus force a rethink of everything, the result may be that only these particular clauses are overthrown or changed. Perhaps the possibility of a settlement may arise, whereby the DOJ agrees to drop or change certain things: what will FSC insist upon and in what areas will their lawyers be prepared to compromise?

If you know the answers to those questions as you would if you were instructing the lawers directly, and as you should since (I assume from your comments) you have paid dues to the organization which is paying the lawyers, then simply tell us what they are. Contrary to what you have written, no-one here is being "torn down, bigoted and hated on". All anyone is saying is that we don't know the answers to these and similar questions.

But if as I suspect, you don't have those answers, you are making our point for us. And in that case, you might ask yourself why you are attacking us for asking the same questions you should be asking yourself...
