I Personally Urge Ya's to Read this 2257 Update!
 

This http://www.avn.com/index.php?Primary...tent_ID=231124 was on this afternoon's AVN Site. I also recommend that you check out the VERY extensive info at www.avn.com/2257 . Yes, I'm one of the Plaintiffs (and, I won't be surprised if the IRS/DOJ/Etc hassles me for agreeing to be part of this--actually, I'm honored to be asked to be a Plaintiff, and agreeing to be part of it was the the right thing to do.

See the comprehensive info at the two above-mentioned links.

You're a class act Dave. Wouldn't expect anything otherwise.

Dave you are a hero to me in so many ways...
Thank you!

Hey Dave,

Read the both and you are the Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

good stuff for sure :thumbsup

Hey Dave. Glad to see that you are involved with the action to take on the DOJ.

I've heard Dave speak on several occasions, most recently at the Exotic Erotic Ball last year in the Bay Area, and I can tell you that he is as good of a spokesperson for talent in the industry as there could be.

Dave also has a wonderful sense of humor - I hope he won't take it the wrong way, but given that he is an elder statesman of sorts (writing for AVN, etc), I consider him to be the Wavy Gravy of the adult biz...loved by all.

Good luck fighting the good fight, Dave. :thumbsup

If you could make a post in here every now and again on how things are going, that would be great. I know many of us would appreciate it.

Eek... I wonder how it'll all turn out :( I feel sorry for the adult industry so far, but am also curiouis why some of the bigger web names haven't stepped up to bat... Instead they just shut their affiliate programs down, or radically modify them..

Thanks, But.....
 

I appreciate the kind comments, but my intent is to provide you with important update info (not to garner pats on the back for me!).

We Plaintiffs and a bevy of top attorneys go to Denver on Wed for a Court hearing on Thursday concerning the TRO. It's crucial that we get the TRO, and the follow-on Injunction we'll later be seeking.

I will do my very best to well represent the Adult Internet and your interests, as well as the Adult Film folks! We're all in this together!

Regards,

Dave

whoa. don't the new regulations go into effect that day (thursday)? will it be decided that day or can the regulations go into effect while the court is still deciding on whether to grant the TRO?

and that alone is admirable - thanks dave and to the rest of the crew.

Great work Dave, thanks for the heads up on the articule good read.

Keep us informed on how you do

Good read....

I had the pleasure of hanging out with dave at internext a few years back. Class act all the way. I know he doesnt want any more "pats on the back" but

I think it is safe to say you will be in the thoughts of many of us come decission time. Thank you.

What's a "Plaintiff"?

It's a stripped down version of a fancy tiff. j/k

Plaintiff is the person bringing the lawsuit.

In this case, the Free Speech Coalition is petitioning the court for a temporary restraining order to halt the enforcement of the new 2257 rules while the court is hearing their case challenging the constitutionality of the new laws.

The defendent is Gonzalez, the Attorney General (head of the Department of Justice).

There will be a Civics test next week, so don't forget...Honda makes Civics.

thanks for the link

Bump.
This too important to allow to drop off the front page.

Dave makes a great defendant for this case.
I can see the judge look at him and then wonder why in the hell we all need a copy of his ID to prove he's not under 18 :1orglaugh

I'm truly an old fart!
 

I'm 65:-)

Dave

Pass the Depends, please!! :)

hey dave, do you have any idea how long it will take the court to make a decision regarding the TRO? the fact that the hearing is taking place on the same day the regs go into effect is pretty scary.

WTG! Dave Rocks! Thanks for the update.

You rock Dave !

Intresting read,very admirable Dave :thumbsup

Kick their asses Dave!

Now theres a Mans Man
You gotta respect Dave

all I can say is Thank you sir.

Good luck Dave :thumbsup

good read & thanks dave :thumbsup



..

Thanks Dave, Give them hell!!!! You are the right man for the job. :thumbsup

imteresting .. thanks for the links

No, I do not know; but with the talented attorneys representing us, I bet they'll push for an immediate decision; or, they'll do something beneficial for our cause (maybe a immediate "stay", pending the Court's decision????)!

Dave

Dave is the man! Thank you Dave for putting your neck out there for all of us!

Where in the article did you read that the hearing is on the 23rd ?

In the 8th paragraph down, the aritcle says " A hearing on the TRO has not been scheduled at press time, but is likely to occur early next week. "

Since the article was published on Friday, I would assume that means early this week.

:thumbsup

yeh thats for the read dave

It's been posted elsewhere. Even the time of the hearing.

The standard for approving a TRO is quite low compared to proving the case - essentially it is like a pre-trial hearing where the only thing you need to show is that you have a case worthy of being heard before a trial judge.

In this particular case, that standard should be easily met.

I would expect a decision the same day, or shortly thereafter.

Get your paperwork in order, and stay tuned...

If you haven't already kicked over some $$$ to the FSC, this might be a good time, since they are waging your battle.
