2257 Update?

Anybody?

I was wondering the same thing. The last extension expires today unless they grant another 30 days.

maybe it was all hype to scare people into closing their sites...

Just got this in from Tom at FSC:

Denver, Co. ? A motion was filed in the U.S. District Court of Colorado this afternoon that extends for one month the original stipulated agreement between the parties for a temporary restraining order (TRO) in Free Speech Coalition et al v. Alberto Gonzales.

The extension will terminate December 30, 2005, or until the Court rules on Plaintiffs? motion for preliminary injunction, whichever occurs first. During that time period, the
Justice Department is restrained from inspecting or enforcing U.S.C. 18 § 2257 against plaintiffs in the case, which includes all members of the Free Speech Coalition.

Terms of the original stipulation are once more maintained intact. The Free Speech Coalition would like to thank its members and the adult community for their support and patience during this time period, and also express appreciation to the FSC attorneys for their efforts, and to the U.S. Justice Department for its cooperation.

Free Speech Coalition is the trade organization of the adult entertainment industry. Its mission is to safeguard the industry from oppressive governmental regulation and to promote good business practices within the industry.

nice to see the regulation is working well then

I'm willing to bet that this case is backburnered for quite some time. That's good for FSC members, but bad for others.

What should we do, if we have some licensed DVDs, but the studios don't want to give away the 2257 info, because there is no final resolution to this issue? (wich is pretty logic)

should we just put the content on the site anyway? and if some day (who knows when?) the court says that we need 2257, the studios give us the 2257 and we are all happy?

I know this is a better question for a lawyer, but maybe somebody knows.

Cheers.
