If you can't afford the $300 bucks a year for your corporate membership and the $50 a year individual membership to protect yourself against a legal catastrophe, then I would say you are pretty darn short-sighted and should serious consider whether you should withdraw from the industry.... Unless you have your heart set on sharing a cell with Bubba and being release from prison a decade or so from now with a size 11 asshole... It's your call...

I am a member so keep that in mind.
Also keep in mind we do the webmaster gig, content production, dvd production/sales, and also have talent. So that puts us in the 850.00 a year range which is a far cry from the 300.00 or the 50.00 But that is besides the point.
Unity is key and just protecting those that are members is wrong. At no time do I expect the FSC to cover my legal bills if I have them or provide me with anything else other than assuring my and everyone elses right to conduct business in adult entertainment. The FSC will not keep someone out of jail, they will not send you a lawyer if you need one. They are here for political industry issues.
There are many people who may be struggling or may just be trying to get into this business that will do a lot of good that may not be able to afford the "protection" of this group. Yes if someone can afford it they should join, but the group as a whole should be looking after the industry as a whole.
