I'm being general, the law would have treated the same as child porn any content that "appears to be" a minor even if you could prove it was otherwise. The FSC stopped that law by itself. They just recently hired a federal lobbyist to watch out for the industry in Washington, D.C. -- a first for this industry, as far as I know. So they have done a lot. You're right though, it's a shame more people don't know about all this. I know we do what we can at YNOT to highlight FSC actions as they occur. I can't speak for the other news sites.
Too bad they don't have a spokesperson who frequents the boards. During the 2257 rally I can't remember reading a single FSC "official" post anywhere. After all, this industry tends to do a lot of business and get a lot of info on boards.

Thanks, appreciate the good words. Not done by me personally though, just created under my guidance by my in-house staff. I'm no designer, just a stupid marketer.
