New Challenges For Adult Content Industry
The trade group that represents the adult entertainment industry is expanding its mission in 2009. The Free Speech Coalition said it will remain the first line of legal defense against what it believes is "burdensome anti-adult legislation and litigation" but will also move forward with projects to address issues that affect members, including content piracy, workplace safety and better business practices. The changes will better position the industry "in a challenging and ever-changing business environment," FSC Executive Director Diane Duke said in a press release. Her group is in Las Vegas this week -- but not for the Consumer Electronics Show. The AVN Adult Entertainment Expo takes place at the same time, in some of the same venues around Sin City.
"The industry is evolving so that creates an opportunity for the FSC to expand its focus," FSC Membership Director Joanne Cachapero said. "The time is right to update the image and focus so that people in the industry have a better understanding of what the FSC is all about, as well as the importance of having an industry trade association." The coalition is overhauling its Web site and a page on popular social networking site Facebook. Both are scheduled to go live at the end of January. Meanwhile, CNN reported Wednesday that Hustler magazine's Larry Flynt and Joe Francis (the brains behind Girls Gone Wild videos) will lobby for a $5 billion economic bailout for the adult industry.
