Quote:
Of particular interest is the fact that the Department of Justice summarily dropped Counts 7 and 8 of the indictment, both dealing with violations of 18 U.S.C. §2257, the federal recordkeeping and labeling act, although Diamond termed such counts a "slam dunk" because at least two of the videos sold on Isaacs' website lacked the required 2257 information such as the producer's name and the location of the performers' identity records.
Thats really does show the DOJ's lack of confidence in bringing 2257 prosecutions. While its not "dead" I think this case was a slam dunk for at least a 2257 plea bargain. Now that they have dropped all 2257 related charges it does send a message about how they feel about the 6th Circuit's decision. They really dont want the same decision in the 9th Circuit which would basically end their ability to do inspections on most of the major companies.
We are still in a wait and watch mode until the 6th Circuit gives us an EnBanc ruling.
