WOW . . . why all the anger at FSC?? the Free Speech Coalition didn't set the rules of what happens if they file action to get an injuction. It's in the federal rules and regulations . . .

"Under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, only the parties to litigation are covered by an injunction. Therefore only the Free Speech Coalition and its members will be covered by an injunction issued pursuant to any lawsuit initiated by FSC, and only to the extent the injunction restricts the government enforcement." (quote from AVN article by By: Chip Baker Posted: 1:32 pm PDT 5-25-2005 = FSC Recommends Compliance . . .

Sure it'd be nice to have them spend the money and all of us get the benefits . . . but that's not the way it works. In fact, that's one of the reasons trade associations exist . . . to do for their members what each can not do individually.

My recommendation, if you're upset over what you're going to have to do to comply with the new regulations - - - join the Free Speech Coalition, 'cause unless you're very very rich and can take the expenses of fighting this on your own, you should leverage you anger (which should be directed at the DOJ not at the FSC).

They are advising members to comply because they are not giving DOJ any membership directory/list. Until a FSC lawyer knows the DOJ has stuck, action can not be taken. Fellas, this is the same advice your own lawyer would give you if you individually filed and got an injunction: comply with the DOJ if they show up and call me. ALTHO, the DOJ would know not to approach you 'cause your information would be in the public records of the case you filed to get the injunction. With a site that's a member of FSC, the DOJ doesn't know they are violating an injuction until they get told, and they sure won't take your word that "I'm a member of the FSC".

"Freedom isn't Free" didn't start with the FSC - - it's an old slogan in support of the USA and the flag of freedom. And, please, someone explain why is it wrong for the Coalition to notify the entire adult community of what they are doing and say join and/or contribute?? Who else is doing anything??

Just read yours... and it is much better than mine... so thought I should just quote you to hopefully get some of those smarts rubbing off on me...
