CANOGA PARK, Calif. – The Free Speech Coalition
issued a press release today reminding adult industry members that only
four days remain in the DOJ’s public comment period for the
proposed 2257 rules and regulations. The Department of Justice will
accept comments through September 10, 2007.
“Don’t count on other adult industry
members to fight this battle for you,” said Diane Duke, FSC
Executive Director. “The Free Speech Coalition is currently
challenging, and will continue to challenge, the Federal Government
every step of the way on this overly burdensome law, but we are going
to need a broad level of support and participation from the industry.
If the DOJ doesn’t hear from us on this issue en masse, the
assumption will be that we simply don’t care –
which is patently untrue. Please send in your comment or sign on to
FSC’s industry statement today.”

Lance Cassidy of XTube is among the adult producers banding together with FSC to address the proposed amendments to the federal record-keeping law.

"If you have a personal or professional interest in the adult
entertainment business, you need to consider how the federal government
is reacting to it with the proposed changes to 2257," Cassidy said.
"The body of your email should entail how this law affects your
interests in the adult entertainment business, in detail, without
emotional statements. Your letter needs to demonstrate that the law is
not effective at controlling child pronography and only serves to
inhibit anyone who partakes in the adult industry. This law was made by
people who assume we are all scumbags, which is so far from the truth,
so let's prove ourselves once and for all."

FSC urges the industry to make use of the following options:

1. Email egal@freespeechcoalition.com
and tell FSC about the burdens that 2257 imposes on your business. FSC
will compile your comments into a document ready for submission and
send it back to you with instructions on how to submit. FSC must
receive the email by no later than Sunday, September 9, 12:00 p.m.
(PST).

2. Sign on to a group statement prepared by FSC, representing concerned
members of the adult entertainment industry. The Statement is posted on
FSC’s website, www.freespeechcoalition.com.
Email legal@freespeechcoalition.com
and tell FSC that you would like to sign on to the 2257 proposed Rules
and Regulations statement. FSC will add your company’s name
and/or your own to the list.

3. Submit your own
statement for public comment electronically to: Admin.ceos@usdoj.gov
or by using the electronic form provided on the DOJ website at www.regulations.gov

NOTE: Comments submitted electronically must include Docket
No. CRM 104 in the subject box.
