xxxjay · 05-20-2005, 05:01 AM

Even though the FSC's chairman, Jeffery Douglas, is my lawyer for JQMedia. I figures that I would step up to the plate and formally join the FSC. All you other guys sitting on the sidelines should do this as well. The FSC is the only organization with enough teeth to put up a good fight with all of this impending obscenity /2257 shit.

Don't sit on the sidelines and wait for someone else to do it. Step up and fight these bastards...it will be easier and less expensive then trying to do it from the confines of Federal Lockup.

The CSV code is a three digit code printed on the back of your credit card after the cc number usually on the signature panel.

Congrats on doing the right thing and welcome aboard.

Screw it, next batch of checks that come in are going to the FSC, I really belive that those that don't want to comply with the new regulations might be part of the next round-up mentioned here.

Nysus · 05-21-2005, 09:31 AM

I highly suggest everyone tell everyone they know in adult about this thread and / or about the Free Speech Coalition, and also get them to read their May 18th press release;

"TRADE GROUP TO CHALLENGE NEW SECTION 2257 RULES
May 18, 2005
Free Speech Coalition, the adult entertainment trade association, announced plans today to file a legal challenge to the Justice Department?s new rules for enforcement of the Federal Labeling and Recordkeeping Law known as 18 U.S.C. Section 2257.

?Just as we feared,? FSC Executive Director Michelle Freridge said, ?Attorney General Gonzales has signed a final rule implementing the new provisions of the Child Protection and Obscenity Enforcement Act. We are prepared to challenge these unconstitutional and burdensome regulations in court.?

The law requires producers of sexually explicit material to maintain records proving that performers in those depictions are not minors, but the detailed and extensive records that the law requires create a daunting record-keeping task, particularly when applied to the Internet. And the penalties are harsh. Even with no minors involved in the production - indeed, even if all performers are over 40 -- a first-offense paperwork error can still mean five years in federal prison.

Although FSC is on record in strong opposition to the use of minors in sexual material, Freridge said these new regulations go too far. According to Freridge, the proposed guidelines, which were initially released to the public in August of 2004, go beyond reasonable administrative requirements and create an excessively burdensome paperwork system that may violate the privacy rights and personal safety of performers. On a practical level, many producers would find it difficult to comply with the highly technical requirements.

?In addition, we really need to examine the impact of the new regulations on webmasters, since internet content is apparently going to be the focus of the new DOJ task force,? suggested Larry Walters, a well known First Amendment attorney who represents a number of adult webmasters and internet companies and is a member of FSC?s Internet Committee.

?Under the current unfriendly administration,? Freridge commented, ?The law would become a tool for selective enforcement by the Justice Department and a technical trap for legal adult businesses that have no connection whatsoever to child pornography.?

FSC intends to test the validity of the new rules by filing multiple lawsuits, asking for a temporary restraining order and an injunction. By taking swift proactive steps, FSC hopes to protect its members from prosecution, while challenging the law as unconstitutional.

To view the proposed guidelines released to the public in 2004, as well as FSC?s response to those guidelines, visit www.freespeechcoalition.com The version signed by Attorney General Gonzales today will be published in the Federal Register soon, and available on the FSC website shortly thereafter.

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."

The form doesn't work with Firefox, doesn't accept alpha-numeric postal codes, and the CVV description is confusing, but we're all smart people.

Just us IE, and use 90210 as a postal code.

It's some old Capone shit and they know it. They have been trying to get obscenity cases for years - everyone from Lenny Bruce to Howard Stern and they can't do it.

Really, this is desparation on the part of the DOJ, they've tried to prosecute obscenity 9000 different ways and they can't do it, so they have to resort to some below the belt shit. It's sad really.
