this isn't about what is "fair", it's about what is the law.
The law is the Law.... and the only way to change that is to help shoot down the law before it gets to be the Law (ie,. lobbying), or litigate to have it taken to the supreme court to be overturned.
There is no use in equating what other industries are doing, or even trying to address the issue of 2257 in the name of "protecting children".
If the DOJ said that they are enforcing 2257 to protect penguins, it doesn't matter what name they do their enforcement to.. they are enforcing the law.. that's what law enforcement does.
if you don't like the law, you change the law, move to another country, or abide by it.
FSC has opposed Laws many times and on many fronts. Yes, litigation is painful and slow and costly... and it would be better if congress worked with the adult biz like California congress does with FSC when it comes to adult issues, but its quite clear, that these new set of laws do more towards trying to curb/eliminate adult content, then to actually protect children.
Are you going to lobby congress against bad bills?
Are you going to litigate against bad Laws?
Who will? Who or what organization can allocated millions of dollars over time to such activities?
Larry Flynt could.. but that was in his own cases.
As a whole, only a trade association can leverage the financial resources of its membership.
Want a new organization... no problem... rally up the following:
50 companies to pay 10K per year
1000 companies to pay 5k per year
2000 companies to pay $2500 per year
5000 affiliates to pay $300 per year
20,000 surfers to pay $25 per year
this should be sufficient to hire attorneys since Lee and Douglas offer so much of their time for reduced or no compensation.
This amount of money can fund enough people to cover all areas of adult as well as legal coffers to mount several litigations and PR efforts.
Fight the telethon!
