I hate to sound negative, but I don't see the point. I've sent my letters, my emails and my tweets, like everyone else, but I'm not going to travel for 24+ hours for this, as I honestly believe it's a done deal. However, I do hope I'm 100% wrong.

I'm also not sure what a physical, peaceful presence will do that 1000s of letters, emails and tweets could not, in addition to the FCS's effort to curb this. It will all fall on deaf ears as there is simply too much money to be made here. And did I read they have spent $12 million dollars to make .XXX a reality?

Not to mention, I don't put a lot of trust into an organization who's laying in bed with a company who's running ads on The Pirates Bay and has robbing everyone in the industry blind. That says to me that they are either unaware of what is really going on in the grand scheme of things, or they are blinded by money. Either way, it's not good or trustworthy.
