CHATSWORTH, CA – The arrival of Internext and the Adult Entertainment Expo provides the perfect opportunity for the Free Speech Coalition to solicit feedback from industry insiders about 2257 issues and the recent ruling by Judge Walker D. Miller.Miller’s decision regarding the FSC’s Motion for a Preliminary Injunction was part of the ongoing Free Speech Coalition v. Gonzales legal battle to determine precisely what the 2257 regulations mean, how they will be enforced, and who will be affected.

Preliminary conclusions from the FSC legal about the December 28, 2005 Miller decision include the fact that it establishes a de facto “status quo” for all Free Speech Coalition members and other plaintiffs; that anyone who joins the FSC prior to the final legal decision will be covered by the ruling; and that the U.S Department of Justice can not enforce 18 USC 2257 against content “Secondary Producers.”

Requests for further information and explanation can be directed to legal@freespeechcoalition.com and will be reviewed by the FSC legal staff with the intention of including as many answers as possible during the membership meeting in Las Vegas on January 5, 2006, as well as on the FSC website. Although the current rulings are favorable to FSC members, compliance is strongly recommended until a final resolution has been reached.
