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.

1. " the injunction they had been promoting heavily to get webmasters to support by joining the FSC."
either way injuction or not you are still protected if you are a FSC members so what;s the diffence to you as a member ?????????????????????
2. "which allowed the DOJ to pursue legal action against non-fsc members."
WRONG, it allows the DOJ to pursue legal action against all non FSC members and all non plaintiffs. The FSC told everyone to not count on an injuction, do you remember that. Many of you where banking on them getting one, the FSC told you to be compliant by June 23 to be safe, they urged people to do this.
3. 100% wrong, "" The U.S. District Court in Denver will hold a preliminary injunction hearing on August 8, 2005, after which the judge will determine whether to issue a further injunction. "" The District court in Denver set the date for August 8, the DOJ can not change this.
4. people can join or hire their own attorney or do nothing, they have 3 choices. It's pretty simple.
5. Do you think it would be possible or feasable for the FSC to come to the membership for a vote in the 11th hour on every issue. As a member you elect a board, the board makes decissions, etc. that's what we hired them for. LOL I wouldn't want them to come take a poll of what you guys wanted them to do, I rather the professionals make the decissions.
6. can't make everyone happy.
