2257 and the current regime is an understandable product of a nation which flips out when a nipple slips out.
A: From a recent article about 2257 DOJ and FSC 'deal':
Quote:

Fellow First Amendment attorney Gregory Piccionelli added, "I cannot state in more emphatic terms that you have to be out of your mind if you don't become a member of the FSC immediately."

As much as I believe that 2257 affects all adult biz operators (worldwide), I'm uncomfortable with the implications behind that kind of 'endorsement'.
B: According to the information in patent applications related to software called 'my2257' same lawyer in 'A' above is also listed as the INVENTOR (First Named). This is not about a lawyer filing an application - the patent indicates that the lawyer is laying claim of ownership to the 'invention' and implies that the lawyer has a financial stake in the 'invention'.
A + B = Conflicting (at best).
I was hoping to see 2257 put down as FSC had indicated was necessary.
Deals usually involve concessions (from both sides). This seems to be getting worse each week.
