FSC Support of Adult Webmasters
 

Good Afternoon,

I'd like to address the issue of the FSC representing the interest of "old school" producers vs. webmasters:

1. The FSC is the trade organization that represents the adult entertainment industry. The FSC doesn't care whether the media is film, VHS, DVD, VOD, satellite, magazines, books, etc. The FSC realizes that it is not the media, it is the CONTENT that matters. Hence, the commonality of our goals exists.

2. The FSC was organized during the heyday of VHS and its original membership base comes from those companies. However, with the advent of the internet, VOD and other new media, the FSC is making the effort to include the interests of these new groups within the FSC mission. As I said before, the government is more interested in eliminating the CONTENT than the method of delivery.

3. The FSC has an "Internet Committee" whose mission is to develop the FSC website and reachout to the Internet community as a whole. Tom Hymes, previously with AVN Online, is the new Communications Director of FSC. Also, Connor of YNOT, is also a Board Member. I am also a Board Member, and, in the past, have participated in adult internet websites. I am familiar with the problems webmasters face on a daily basis: content theft, censorship, domain protection, 2257, public image of industry, shaving, hosting issues, trademarks, taxes, business practices, etc.

As I said before, the FSC is a 'big tent' for all in the adult entertainment industry to gather within and address those issues that affect us as an industry. Your membership and support is, both, voluntary and appreciated.

And remember, the question is not about when you joined the adult industry.
The question is do you want to keep your right to produce, sell, and view erotica.
