FSC's advice on secondary producer inspections
 

From the FSC's website regarding HR4472 which will be signed later this week.

If you are exclusively a ?secondary? producer, and exempt from inspection by virtue of your Free Speech Coalition membership, it is important that you ask your lawyer how to decline the Federal inspection, and notify the FSC office as soon as possible if such an inspection is attempted.

Apparently they feel that Judge Miller's injunction supercedes the new law.
Do any attorneys out there disagree? (I mean industry lawyers, not armchair ones).

I'd be interested to hear what any industry lawyers have to say about it as well.

great post Rambozo i'm curious as well

The "new law" - the "Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act", AKA HR 4472 - hasn't been passed by the House or signed by Bush yet.... so as of right now, it's not yet law.

As such, most lawyers are probably hesitant to comment (publicly, anyway) on the Act's potential effect on FSC v. Gonzalez, or the preliminary injunction issued in that case.

The Act is expected to pass this week, and then be signed into law by Bush on 7/27. I checked the House website where they publish the floor proceedings, and it says they've "concluded all anticipated legislative business" for the day and "proceeded to Special Order speeches"."

I'm not sure if that means a vote on 4472 is out of the question for today, though.... we'll see.

- Q.

How much for a membership? Is it annual? The highest I saw was $500
but what about for companies, llc etc. Didnt feel like entering my info to find out. Did a search and got tired of looking...anyone know?

anyone got membership pricing?

Depends on the size of your company and what it does....

A secondary producer will pay between $50 - $300 or more depending on what you do.

The type and volume of comment over the last couple of days creates the impression that many webmasters did not become compliant last year. FSC might therefore be doing some of their members a service to remind them that the injunction against inspections is not a license to ignore the 2257 regulations.

hmm... thread bookmarked...

so tomorrow is Armageddon for the Adult industry?
