1: Heavey supporters of the FSC and a board rep from FSC posted that everyone will be covered under the juction. They said the doj wont go after anyone while the injuction is in effect
Qouted from fsc website
"Specifically, the DoJ will not conduct any inspections or pursue any claims with regard to the plaintiffs and their members, but reserves the right to inspect and prosecute anyone who is not a plaintiff or FSC member."
Now please tell me why we have to pay now to be protected?
2: Fsc mentioned that they would not hand over there members list
Now please tell me why they are handing over there list?
Qouted from fsc website
.
"According to the stipulation, agreed to and issued as an order of the Court today, the DoJ, will submit any entity it intends to inspect to a Special Master who will then check the entity?s name against a sealed and confidential FSC membership list. The Special Master will be appointed by the Court, with the consent of the parties, and will be under a specific obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the FSC membership list.
A master list of members will be submitted to the Special Master on Wednesday June 29, 2005, and will include all FSC members as of 2:00 p.m. pacific standard time, Saturday June 25, 2005."
Man oh man these guys done switched up on there words and you guys are praiseing them like some kind of gods  |
You'll never get an answer to those questions..because the supporters of the settlement don't have an answer to them. These things we know:
1)At the 11th hour, the attornies and/or powers that be behind the FSC abandoned their proposed injunction, the injunction they had been promoting heavily to get webmasters to support by joining the FSC.
2)They then made a private agreement (remember, those who were already FSC members helped finance this..without your approval too!) which allowed the DOJ to pursue legal action against non-fsc members. (Remember when they said originally that this injunction would help everyone?)
3)This is an AGREEMENT, not a legal binding law, which can be broken, amended, or slipped around at any time by the DOJ. They are not bound to this agreement beyond a "gentleman's agreement". With an injunction, you have binding legal action.
4)This is not an argument that people should get a "free ride" or are cheapskates for not joining the FSC.
5)Members of the FSC payed for ALL of the above. Now, did the MAJORITY of the membership APPROVE of the above actions? That's an important question to ask. If you join between now and Saturday, how do you know that YOUR voice is going to be heard and followed by "the powers that be" in the FSC?
6)And before you can say "HEY FREELOADER!"..yes I am a member of the FSC.
And I don't approve of these actions in any way or manner.
