World Wide Content Donates to 2257 Fund

CANOGA PARK, Calif. – The Free Speech Coalition (FSC) has announced that World Wide Content, Inc., an Internet content provider, has staged recent fundraising efforts that have resulted in a considerable donation to the 2257 Legal Defense Fund.

World Wide Content set 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.

"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," Michelle Freridge, FSC's executive director, said. "Efforts like this inspire us and help galvanize others in the adult community to similar action."

The Free Speech Coalition will continue its fundraising drive on behalf of the 2257 Legal Defense Fund, with the goal of raising $250,000 by the end of January 2006.
