The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) today acknowledged World Wide Content, Inc. (www.worldwidecontent.com), a leading adult Internet content provider, for recent fundraising efforts that resulted in a considerable donation to the 2257 Legal Defense Fund.
In a statement, FSC said, "On behalf of the Free Speech Coalition and the entire industry, we want to thank World Wide Content for setting aside a percentage of sales over a period of time that ultimately totaled many thousands of dollars that will go exclusively to pay for the ongoing legal challenge to U.S.C. 18 § 2257, the federal labeling and record-keeping requirements."
“I know I sound like a broken record," said FSC Executive Director Michelle Freridge, “but the truth is, without the expenditure of effort and passion that companies like World Wide Content put forth to raise money in support of this legal challenge, our lawyers would not have been able to achieve what they have so far, which is to keep the federal government at bay with every expectation that we will ultimately prevail in court. Efforts like this inspire us and help galvanize others in the adult community to similar action.”
As previously mentioned, the Free Speech Coalition continues its fundraising drive on behalf of the 2257 Legal Defense Fund, with the goal of raising $250,000 by the end of January 2006. If any companies, like World Wide Content, are interested in establishing a campaign or fundraising event and would like help coordinating those efforts, FSC heartily encourages them to make contact as soon as possible.
