Historia
Antes del establecimiento de un derecho privado a poseer material pornográfico en Stanley v. Georgia en 1969, los productores de películas para adultos y los fabricantes de juguetes sexuales tenían una capacidad limitada para organizarse. El primer grupo verdaderamente nacional que surgió fue la Asociación de Cine para Adultos de América (AFAA), una asociación de aproximadamente 100 productores, exhibidores y distribuidores de películas. La AFAA contrató abogados y creó un paquete legal que podría ser utilizado por quienes enfrentan la censura. [1] Con el advenimiento de videos caseros económicos, la AFAA se convirtió en la Asociación de Cine y Video para Adultos de América (AFVAA). [2]
En 1987, el productor de películas para adultos Hal Freeman fue acusado de proxenetismo . En People v. Freeman , los fiscales argumentaron que pagar a los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes para que tuvieran sexo en una película para adultos era un acto de prostitución. El caso llegó a la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos, donde la decisión de Freeman de 1989 legalizó efectivamente la producción de películas para adultos en California. A pesar del fallo, las fuerzas del orden comenzaron a apuntar agresivamente a los cines y tiendas de videos para adultos por vender material para adultos. En 1990, la Ciudad de Los Ángeles usó ordenanzas de zonificación para intentar cerrar casi un centenar de cines y tiendas de videos para adultos en el área de Hollywood. [3]
Siguiendo las recomendaciones de la Comisión Meese , la administración Bush comenzó a atacar tanto a los pequeños distribuidores como a los principales fabricantes de videos para adultos con operaciones encubiertas. [4] [5] Entre marzo de 1990 y junio de 1991, el Departamento de Justicia de Estados Unidos y la policía de Los Ángeles allanaron 40 compañías de cine para adultos en Los Ángeles. Si bien la producción de pornografía ya no era ilegal en California, los productores aún podían ser acusados del delito federal de venta interestatal de material obsceno y juzgados en áreas más conservadoras. [6] [7]
Establecimiento
En respuesta a los ataques, los productores adultos formaron el Fondo de Defensa Legal de la Libertad de Expresión (FSLDF) para aunar recursos. [8] En 1991, cuando se mitigó el ataque del gobierno, la FSLDF decidió seleccionar un nombre que reflejara más su papel ampliado en la comunidad adulta, y nació la Free Speech Coalition. La asociación se alineó estrechamente con otras organizaciones que representan los derechos de la libertad de expresión y las libertades civiles . [9]
Ley de aplicación de la protección infantil y la obscenidad
En 1995, entró en vigor un plan federal integral que regula la creación y distribución al por mayor de imágenes grabadas de conducta sexual. Con el objetivo de detectar y disuadir la pornografía infantil, la Ley Federal de Etiquetado (también conocida como Ley de Aplicación de la Obscenidad y Protección Infantil ) eliminó toda privacidad en la creación de imágenes sexuales. Se ordenó a todos los productores y artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes de dichos materiales que cumplieran con requisitos de divulgación detallados. Para que la industria cumpliera, el FSC era esencial. El FSC llevó a cabo seminarios de capacitación, preparó documentos de cumplimiento y etiquetas de exención uniformes y negoció con el Departamento de Justicia el alivio de algunos de los componentes más onerosos e irrazonables de la ley.
La respuesta del FSC a la Ley Federal de Etiquetado que estableció ampliamente en toda la industria la necesidad de una organización comercial funcional para ayudar a la industria.
En 1996 se promulgó la Ley de Decencia en las Comunicaciones (CDA) para proteger a los niños del acceso a material para adultos en Internet. La Ley de Protección de la Pornografía Infantil (CPPA) siguió en 1997; Esta legislación buscaba tipificar como delito la representación de menores en videos o contenido en línea sexualmente explícitos, incluso si los representados en el material eran mayores de 18 años. La redefinición de la pornografía infantil para incluir adultos que parecen ser menores de edad, que participan en actividades sexuales reales o simuladas fue controvertida. El Comité Judicial del Senado (el comité de origen), ni siquiera celebró una votación sobre el proyecto de ley, sin embargo, se convirtió en ley, luego de que el senador Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) lo adjuntara durante el Comité de la Conferencia al Proyecto de Ley de Gastos de octubre de 1997. Bajo la definición, películas como Midnight Cowboy , The Last Picture Show , Animal House , A Clockwork Orange , Halloween , Fast Times at Ridgemont High , Return to the Blue Lagoon , The Exorcist , Risky Business , Porky's , Bull Durham , Blowup , Dirty Dancing , y The People vs. Larry Flynt fueron objeto de enjuiciamiento y posiblemente una pena mínima obligatoria de cinco años de prisión. Cuando se llevaron estas preocupaciones al personal del Senador Hatch, respondieron admitiendo que tales películas podrían ser acusadas, pero que las películas "legítimas" no deben temer el enjuiciamiento. La FSC cuestionó la constitucionalidad de la ley. Por primera vez desde su propia redefinición como asociación comercial, el FSC emprendió un litigio impugnando la constitucionalidad de un estatuto federal.
El FSC presentó una demanda contra el entonces Fiscal General John Ashcroft , acusando que la CPPA redujo los derechos de la primera enmienda al definir el discurso protegido como obsceno o como pornografía infantil. En 2002, las opiniones del FSC fueron confirmadas en la Corte Suprema de Estados Unidos en Ashcroft v. Free Speech Coalition , el caso de "pornografía infantil virtual".
En 2005, el FSC presentó una queja contra el Departamento de Justicia y el entonces Fiscal General Alberto Gonzales , citando que las regulaciones 18 USC § 2257 ponían en peligro la privacidad y seguridad de los artistas intérpretes o ejecutantes al permitir el acceso a información privada a través del proceso de mantenimiento de registros; también que las regulaciones 2257 eran complicadas hasta el punto de que los productores adultos no podrían cumplir plenamente con el sistema de mantenimiento de registros.
Las controvertidas regulaciones han sido un problema constante para los productores de la industria para adultos y el FSC. En febrero de 2009, la Corte de Apelaciones del Sexto Circuito de los Estados Unidos sostuvo en Connection Distributing Co. v. Holder que las disposiciones de mantenimiento de registros de 18 USC § 2257 no violaban la Primera Enmienda. En diciembre de 2009 se publicó un conjunto revisado de las regulaciones § 2257, lo que provocó otra queja contra el Departamento de Justicia y el Fiscal General Eric Holder en 2010.
Impuesto a la pornografía de California
El FSC entró en el campo del cabildeo en serio en 1994, con la retención de un cabildero en Sacramento, la capital del estado de California . Después de un año, la presencia de los grupos de presión demostró ser fundamental para la salud de la industria nacional. Se introdujo un proyecto de ley de impuestos con el propósito de ayudar a las víctimas de abuso doméstico y violación. Se propuso un impuesto especial para todos los productos y servicios para adultos, y las ganancias se destinarán a la recaudación del impuesto, a la aplicación de la ley y, si queda algo, a los centros de asesoramiento por violación y refugios para víctimas maltratadas. [10]
La ley constitucional había prohibido durante mucho tiempo la focalización de un impuesto de contenido definido y este proyecto de ley era el modelo de tal esquema tributario. Tradicionalmente, la industria se había basado únicamente en el poder judicial para protegerse contra tales intrusiones, y las legislaturas de todo el país se han acostumbrado a regular la industria para adultos sin consultar con las partes a regular. Ambos patrones se detuvieron con este impuesto propuesto.
The FSC led a coalition of affected businesses and industry groups in fighting the tax. The FSC argued that the tax was a dangerous, unconstitutional precedent and that it would be bad for the state's economy. During the course of the ensuing debate, the economic influence of the adult entertainment industry was established in the minds of the zero votes in support. The bill was defeated at its first committee hearing.
Organización
Free Speech Coalition (FSC) is the trade association of the adult entertainment industry in the United States. Founded in 1991, it opposes the passage and enforcement of some censorship laws (with the exception of "anti-piracy" laws) and obscenity laws.
On the FSC's website it states that over the course of its history it has "fought for the rights of producers, distributors, performers and consumers of adult entertainment and pleasure products through battles in the legislature, the courts, regulatory agencies, at the ballot box and in the press".[11]
The FSC is also committed to intersectionality, supporting populations within the adult industry concerned with issues such as: "women’s health and reproductive rights, LGBT rights, immigration, sexual health and wellness, sex education, decriminalization of victims and workers, human trafficking, discrimination, racism, and consent".[12]
In 1999, FSC hired its first full-time Executive Director and began to gain a national reputation as a defender of First and Fourth Amendment rights. During the Clinton Administration, there were few obscenity prosecutions. Then-Attorney General Janet Reno seemed to see "obscenity" as a victimless crime. She also realized that in many areas community standards had changed and "obscenity" convictions were becoming more difficult to sustain.

Performer Availability Screening Services
Performer Availability Screening Services (PASS) is a U.S. organization that maintains a database of STI testing results for pornographic actors.[22] The database is intended to help reduce or prevent the spread of STDs in the porn industry. The organization, formerly known as Adult Production Health and Safety Services (APHSS),[23] was developed by the Free Speech Coalition in 2013, following the closure of AIM.[24]
Performers are tested every fourteen days for HIV, syphilis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, hepatitis B and C and trichomoniasis.[25] According to PASS, there has not be an on-set transmission of HIV on a regulated set since 2004.[26][27]
During the global coronavirus pandemic, a special task force met to determine how to incorporate a test for COVID-19. All performers and crew are now tested for COVID-19 with the date of test posted in the PASS database.[28] Researchers have suggested that the PASS testing system may be a model for other industries.[29]
Banking Access
In February 2015, the FSC announced an affiliation with the First Entertainment Credit Union. The arrangement with make member financial services available to approved production studios employees and their families, primarily in the adult film industry. Diane Duke, CEO of the FSC, stated "We are thrilled to be able to offer active FSC members and their families the opportunity to access First Entertainment for their banking needs and many other financial services. Especially because of difficulties faced by industry members that have had their business turned away by other institutions."[30]
Premios
The FSC Lifetime Achievement Awards are given to adult industry businesses and professionals for outstanding achievements and contributions to the adult entertainment industry.[31] They were launched in mid-1988 by the Adult Video Association at its annual Night of the Stars fundraising event, replacing its discontinued Erotic Film Awards. When the association merged into the Free Speech Coalition in late 1992, the new coalition took over the tradition. Previous years' awards are listed at the AVA Wikipedia entry. Starting in 2008 an "Election Bash" in the fall replaced the former Night of the Stars awards ceremony, reflecting the FSC's change in focus from the entertainers to the business side of the industry.[32] The award presentations were normally made late in the year, but starting in 2014 they were changed to January as part of the XBIZ 360 conference, which is also site of the XBIZ Award ceremony. Thus the awards normally presented in late 2013 were given out in January 2014. In 2015 a new award, the Christian Mann Courage and Leadership Award, was added.[33]

As the trade association of the adult industry, we have championed issues of free speech and workers' rights for over twenty five years. We stand firmly against exploitation and view the decriminalization of sex work as a critical step to combat sex trafficking, and strengthen workers' control over their bodies and lives. Leading human rights and public health organizations such as Amnesty International and the World Health Organization agree that in order to adequately address the issue of sex trafficking, sex work must be decriminalized world wide.
