OK, so it wasn’t much of a surprise last week when a federal judge dismissed porn trade group the Free Speech Coalition’s lawsuit against Utah’s comically misnamed child-protection do-not-e-mail registry.
What was disconcerting, though, was a vow Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff made in the press release touting his victory.

Why did Free Speech Coalition FOOLISHLY GIVE the UTAH AG the opportunity for another platform on this issue? The suit was stupid and at best served to get the name changed.
This is yet another example of lack of strategy by Free Speech Coalition.
Another such example is their refusal to support anti-piracy efforts in the California Legislature every time such a bill comes up, because some of their own members are the very piraters who are ripping off the rest of the industry. As FSC continues to talk out of both sides of its face, it is coveting the very people who are undermining the financial well-being of the adult film industry, by protecting film piraters.
I find it ridiculous that such resources are being utilized in order to enforce such a law. Additionally, it completely disregards small businesses seeking to collect e-mail listings, even for a sandwich shop, to acquire repeat customers. Small businesses strive on targeting younger audience members, even when they are not attempting to ’sell’ anything that may be questionable. Granted, a sandwich shop doesn’t run the risk of promoting something for adults only, but when you come into contact with a free giveaway, for example, a vacation, then you will be completely in violation.
