when FSC goes to court, all the way up to the supreme court, to get parts of 2257 invalidated, that ruling will affect ALL webmasters, not just FSC members.
FSC is a trade organization for the adult biz. By definition, it can only act on the interests of its members.
anyone who runs an adult related biz (offline or online) should be a member.
the reason for you being a member to FSC is not to have some kind of temporary protection from 2257 investigations (if that's the only reason you joined, then its quite foolish), it's to help in the fight against the legal issues that do affect your adult related business, like 2257.
there are many other issues that lobbying and litigation are needed.
I can certainly understand "the rub" you may feel about the "marketing tactic" of only FSC members could be on "the list", but it shoudn't be the dark cloud issue of supporting the ONLY organization that will look to protect your rights to operate an adult biz.
i have heard some say they support the ACLU or EFF.. both of which are great organizations, but when it comes to adult specific issues, FSC is right there and would be the first one to jump in. ACLU might jump into a few issues, EFF on more technical fronts.
Fight the holding up of your two ringers on each hand like rabbit ears and bobbing them up and down then the word "quote" is said!
