Some advice to all on 18 USC 2257
The days of the wild west in adult internet are over. If you have any nexus with the US; citizenship, web hosting, billing, banking, business etc you need to follow the guidelines in 18 USC 2257 as they are finally interpreted by the courts.
If you do not want to follow the law take the risk or close your business and stop whining.
Regarding the FSC and the deal with DOJ. It is appropriate that the agreement to delay inspections applies only to the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. This is normal procedure and is unremarkable.
All this means is FSC members and other plaintiffs have a little more time to get their records in order. The law still applies to them as well as anyone else, only inspections have been delayed.
Unless a permanent injunction is issued and is very broad, these rules apply to everyone effect June 23 2005. If you need more time to get your act together join the FSC, if you have your act together and feel you are in compliance now make a donation anyhow. I am sure the FSC will need every penny they can collect to cover the legal expenses and if they prevail everyone will win.
