As most of you know, a lawsuit was filed on Thursday by the Free Speech Coalition and others in Denver, challenging 2257 across the board, as well as particular parts of it. A hearing on the plaintiffs’ application for a temporary restraining order (i.e., an emergency injunction) will be Thursday, June 23rd at 1:30 PM Denver time.
As some of you are aware, because the District of Colorado is in the 10th Circuit, the judge is not at liberty to depart from the Sundance decision, which is the one that held that the record-keeping requirements could only be applied to “primary producers”, which are those involved in actually taking the pictures or arranging for the performers. Thus, there is significant optimism that at least the aspect of the regulations requiring secondary producers to keep and index, etc., records will be stopped.
