I guess Larry who is representing Ray might have more information.

Thats not worth shit then.

If they dont protect secondary producers nor do they aid a primary producer... Im curious what they are doing with the money.

I guess I will take the money they keep soliciting me for to renew my membership and put it directly in your defense fund. I know you wont be sponsoring any celebrity parties or golfing events.

I encourage everyone that was considering joining or renwing with the FSC to do the same.

At least we know what Jim will be doing with the money.

The result from this case will impact all of us that shoot content outside of California.

For best or worse!

I'm thinking that since Jim was only the affiliate manager and not a producer that he should be considered a secondary producer by the FSC.

Now that 4472 has lumped us all together and there is no longer such a thing as a 'secondary producer' what is the FSC's criteria. They protect webmasters that did not actually produce the content but not webmasters that did produce their own content? And what if you produce some of your own content but also use purchased content. Are you protected for the purchased stuff but not the stuff you produced?

Mike South says the FSC isnt to happy with us ... Venturi they are especially displeased with YOU!

A Few Porners Were Unhappy With My Tom Hymes Bit Yesterday:
First of all I didn't write it, I cut and pasted it from Oprano because its FUNNY
I think the author wrote it at least partially tongue in cheek but this does beg the question Why is the FSC so concerned over this bit...maybe it hits a bit too close to home? And if you think that was bad read the rest of the thread...The FSC isnt highly thought of in the webmaster community....whose fault is THAT?
