Sorry Choker but the truth is......
I have been in a "free speech" class action suit before and won.
My lawyer worked probono to get injunctions.
He then asked me to get anybody else I knew who "may" have been affected and get them over to his office to sign a form(for free) agreeing to his representation.
I got about 20 more people to sign up.
Why was it free?
Because he won a jugdment for each and every client by only handling enough work for a single client and he took 1/3 of each of our settlements as his fee. He would have represented everyone in the world if it had been possible because it only would make him richer.
If the FSC had a solid case then why charge clients and thus reduce the number of possible settlements?
Posible reasons:
*They know they will win but they would like to have clients foot the bill now.
* They know they will win but the settlement would be smaller than getting 1000's of new FSC members that will pay yearly dues for the next 20 yrs to sign up now out of fear.
* They don't have a fucking case and just begged DOJ for time.
The last reason is about as likely as hell freezing over.
So go figure. 1000's of new memebers times $300 per year verses a joint settlement of 1/2 mil for all clients.
I'm not trying to knock them at all but lets be real about financial motives.
This is a whole lot of coin to get a lawyer to go to court and quote another case(Sundance) that's already been ruled in your favor.
The fact is that DOJ hasn't got a chance in hell of winning a case against a "secondary producer" if they are located on the west coast.
