Hey, I don't want to rain on anyone's parade. I'm not above telling people that they might want to bring an umbrella to the parade, though.
I do think casting a partly-granted injunction as a "major victory" is maybe a bit of an exaggeration. It's definitely great news for secondary producers, but it's really not very good news at all for primary producers.
The fact that the judge somehow seems to buy the government's position that 2257 is actually about child porn and that the burdens on legal business is incidental and relatively minimal is really pretty disturbing. That gets at the heart of the constitutional issues here, and from my read, so far the FSC has not convinced the judge that those are even in play.
I still have high hopes, and I have the utmost respect for the FSC and for the people arguing the case. I'm just saying that this is, at best, mixed news.
Cheers
