Thank you Rondee Kamins and Mike Murray!

As you undoubtedly heard, on Tuesday, October 23rd, the United States Court of Appeals 6th Circuit overturned 2257 as unconstitutional on its face. I called Mike Murray, counsel for the case, to congratulate him. “It’s taken us 12 years Diane,” he said. I know just from my short year at FSC, this journey has been a long one, filled with excitement and disappointments, culminating in a truly groundbreaking decision.

“It takes a village to safeguard porn,” a motto each and every industry professional should understand and live by. This decision is a perfect example of that motto carried out. We as an industry owe a debt of gratitude to Mike Murray and Rondee Kamins for their courage, commitment and persistence to pursue a case in which the outcome dramatically benefits everyone of us.

We have yet to see where the Department of Justice will go with the decision: if they will instruct the FBI to stop inspections in all areas outside the 6th Circuit’s jurisdiction, if it will appeal etc. For more information on the decision, see FSC’s FAQs on the 6th Circuit decision:

Once again, Mike, Rondee, thank you. FSC salutes you!
