The judge still has not made his ruling as to whether the DOJ can start enforcing the new regs, particularly with regard to secondary producers. The stipulation agreement between the FSC and the DOJ has been extended 30 days or until the judge makes his ruling. There has been one individual brought up on 2257 violations charges as a result of an obscenity case, where the plain view evidence rules revealed they didn't have 2257 records. (We're going to see more of this, even if the inspections don't move forward for some reason)
According to Samuel Kaplan, attorney for the DOJ, the judge will be ruling pretty soon, he says before the end of the month (Sept 2005). He's pretty confident that the 'clarifications' that he's brought before the court will allow inspections and enforcement to commence, and quite frankly, the DOJ really has a hard-on for starting to enforce this. They're not going to go away on this one.
