That is an
utterly different scenario because a) an entire group is prosecuted and b) those within the group who are offered deals have to give something in return. If the piece in XBiz is to believed, there will be one law for FSC members and another for everyone else. That is patently ludicrous.
An implication of this piece of news is that in order to strike this deal, the lawyers have gone back to their clients for approval. I'm curious how many "members" know who exactly is instructing FSC's lawyers and whether they know what instructions have been given, whether in respect of general strategy or as regards what is up for compromise. And in circumstances such as those suggested by the piece in XBiz, who has the authority to determine what will be acceptable to FSC members?
