Call it a ransom, call it rewarding them for a job well done. Either way, did you pay?

The numbers above are indeed interesting....

I'd like to hear a little more on the "I’m still surprised at the number of you that don’t think this effects you" statement, if you could be so gracious to clarify it a little for me

You should not worry - life is too short for worries ;-))

However you should be aware that the 2257 is just one thing that they will throw at the industry - it doesn´t start and stop with new 2257 rules.

I say its better to fight them each time they show their heads, then it is to wait until they got every US surfer under control.

Chaos is what drives the internet - order is the breaks... From Stewart Dalzell/ACLU vs. Janet Reno COPA 1996

Quote:

True it is that many find some of the speech on the Internet to be offensive, and amid the din of cyberspace many hear discordant voices that they regard as indecent. The absence of governmental regulation of Internet content has unquestionably produced a kind of chaos, but as one of plaintiffs' experts put it with such resonance at the hearing: "What achieved success was the very chaos that the Internet is. The strength of the Internet is that chaos." Just as the strength of the Internet is chaos, so the strength of our liberty depends upon the chaos and cacophony of the unfettered speech the First Amendment protects. For these reasons, I without hesitation hold that the [Communications Decency Act] is unconstitutional on its face."

but I’m only thinking about my business and I'm legal to run my business from the UK.
And I also think that US webmasters and business who do not think outside the US borders are missing the bigger picture.

We are on the internet - this is not brick and mortar. The opportunities and problems are just one click away from all of us. If we think that our business can only exist via regulation and rules, then we are in no better shape than farmers getting subsidies.

Sure it will be nice to have ½ of the webmasters removed from the game, but it should be via competition and not goverment regulations.

Also we both know there is no way of totally controlling the surfers, only the webmasters. Unless the US is trying to become the new China <_<
Just look at how the US is dealing with the online casino, drugs etc. industries, and you have a very good idea on how much the US can and will do regarding business on the internet.

China is different subject, but I also think that their porn law suck ;-)))

Your "one click" term is something I fear more... not the term but the fact that because one Country moves to the right, people fear and panic monger about the possibility that the whole world will. It doesn't work that way.
The US is a very big piece of the pie ;-))

I have no need right now to join the FSC. All my ducks are in a row.

tangent mode ///

I also don't "believe" in rushing in like some drowning victim clutching for a damned life line. That's not any reason to join any organization! And anyone who puts themselves or their company in that position is a fucking suck-off non-business person who should go the fuck back to asking "want fries with that?"

end tangent ////

However, in the near future, I will. Not because of the compliancy, delay tactics, government shell game and all that crap, but because I believe in supporting them.

Do I need to join the FSC for 2257 protection? Fuck no. Will I join then when all the clamour calms down and the "long lines" go back to normal? Yes, because it's good business.
