"I sounds easy....lobbying, PR campaigns, increased ACLU involvement, more accomplishments, etc... Let's be real here everybody, this is the PORN INDUSTRY were talking about."
That cost's money, and asking other profit driven media outlet's to just volunteer slotted time for awareness does not make chemical sense.
It is fair to say our industry press, AVN and XBIZ places press without much problem. But is it free?
I doubt it. FSC most likely pay's for slot's just like any other company.
The problem is not press, or information awareness. The problem is the lack of a profit model. Yearly membership due's are by no means even cuttin close to the warchest needed at this time and day.
I am begging the defender's of our industry to not fear Profit taking that will bring about dire investment to defend us politically.
There should be no shame in taking measures to profit in this biz everyone else does. The internet segment has yet to even begin to flex it's financial muscle and in some of my idea's FSC or other organizations can easily achieve over 12K a month.
Couple examples: Taking even 1 dollar per registration of an adult related domain per registration would result in large amounts of money. Work with NETSOL and domain registries, provide an option for the domain buyer to donate 1 buck of their purchase.
Provide an option for affiliates where working with MPA or NAT'S to integrate an option for a percent portion of an affiliate's payout to move to the FSC or defensive body.
Those are two very very simple options to generate large amounts of money to protect us all.
