“Mr. Valenti is a well known and respected member of the adult entertainment industry,” FSC Director Michelle Freridge said. “He brings years of executive experience to the table, as well as a proven track record as an advocate for free speech, sound business practices and all the other positive qualities that we value at FSC. He is a perfect fit.”
Valenti, a 10-year veteran of the video-on-demand market, said he is eager to help the FSC address VOD issues that face the adult industry.
“As digital media becomes the dominant mode of consumption for adult material, regulators are increasingly focusing on the bogeyman of adult online distribution,” Valenti said. “I am eager to help the Free Speech Coalition address the possibilities of the medium."
