Here is the deal the FSC has agreed to
 

Under the deal, the government will not enforce the new 2257 regulations until the FSC's lawsuit challenging them is resolved.

Thats essentially it, and that is a reasonable deal.

While technically this would only apply to FSC members, realistically it will apply to everyone.

did they announce this?

Please note that this is not final until the judge agrees to it, but he will.

vote with bullets

So essentially they got the injunction from the DOJ instead of the court? Sounds like the DOJ is dealing from a position of weakness.

where is the official statement?

where did you get that from? Linkage?

post the link, so that everyone can read it

I got it from an inside source who would know. I believe it

God damn Mike... you get the scoop on everything first. Good stuff. Thanks.

well if that's the deal, that still means people need to be compliant as of Midnight this morning. if it goes to court and FSC loses it's suit, they can go after anyone who wasn't compliant on June 23rd.

So its official now..

Good news for now.. Real good news.

But I seriously wonder where we stand here in the long run after this battle.

Dont think so.

post a link to a reliable source or shut the fuck up.

Mike South is the "KB" of the video world...he knows everything, and knows everybody

he also calls bullshit where bullshit need to be called
I bet you liked reading the gossip sites yesterday Mikey!


:-))

Just to support the cause, we should all be members of the FSC. Not that we would be blanketed under them, but because it's right to support the people fighting our battle.

how do you figure? if that's the deal, they are saying they will wait until the case is argued in court. if the FSC loses that case, are you saying the regs stating that June 23rd is the effective date will not be applicable?

Mike is smart and very well connected and informed.

Because if it was an agreement approved by the court, and the DOJ later brings in evidence aquired before the expiration of the agreement, they'd get a boot on the ass from the judge maybe?

I dont know, I'm asking.

I AM a reliable source, moron

hahahaha
I love that!

Just draw a little goatee on him-
:-))

and YES Mike is a CREDIBLE source

here's yer link

Stop thinking then, that's what it means.

good news

fantastic

well shit.

the regulations went into effect at midnight this morning.

the fsc filed a lawsuit saying they are bullshit

apparently the DOJ agreed to not enforce the regulations until the lawsuit is dealt with in court

now, if the FSC coalition loses the suit - the regulations stand as of June 23rd 2005.

anyone who is not compliant TODAY and gambling on the result of the lawsuit has huge balls.

Sounds good, but I predict this will only result in people putting off what should already be done, so that in the event the FSC fails in its lawsuit people will be wailing once again that they did not have enough time to become compliant.

<<<<----- Told you so.

there will be a lot of legal posturing and this can be tied up for a while I suspect-

I also don't think it'll be retroactive and that the DOJ is going to go after people that weren't compliant by th 6/23/ date-

That's just paranoia

i think it's ok to be paranoid when it comes to this regime...

truth is compliance goes back to 1995 anyway

at least the record keeping aspects do.....

Yeah I dont think so either..

But the fact that they CAN if they want to should be enough for alarm.

Even Paranoia. Damn...

This is still good news nevertheless..

Go look at www.avnonline.com

It's not even being paranoid dopeman - you only have to take a look at their rap sheet to know you just can't trust em! :-)

Now this "grace" time that we may call it.

Has it already been aggreed on by both sides, or is that still not finial.

goddamn, that should be a bumper sticker.

I heard you Lens :thumbsup
