18 U.S.C. 2257 Struck Down
I just received this announcement from the FSC.
FREE SPEECH COALITION MEMBER ADVISORYTuesday, October 23, 2007
Dear FSC Member,
Today the U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals in Cleveland struck down 18 U.S.C. 2257 on its face as unconstitutional. At this early stage, it appears that the decision in this case that began 12 years ago is a solid one. Our industry owes a great deal of gratitude to the incredible work of attorney Mike Murray and the courage and tenacity of the plaintiffs Rondee Kamins as well as the unnamed plaintiffs. Thank you.
Within the next few days, FSC will provide a more detailed analysis of the decision, the FSC legal team’s responses to “Frequently Asked Questions,” and an outline of possible next step scenarios. In the meantime, FSC, acting in its role as the industry trade association, will continue to keep members informed about this and other important developments affecting the industry nationally.
