I have already said that while I DO support them, I don't think it was much of a successful deal for 4 reasons:

1) It only bought time and the industry should already be compliant anyway. This means more people will slack and then freak out all over again because they will wait 'till the last second to comply.

2) It leaves anyone who is not a paying member to be crucified come June 29th. Some poor fuckers will have their asses handed to them because they didn't pay up to the cause.

3) All of the names will be put on a list. That makes me VERY uncomfortable. Your talking about an industry that eats it's young on a daily basis and will sell out their brother for $29.95 and a re-bill. I trust no one at any time with such a list.

4) It may shelter people who are in clear violation of 2257 for the time being just because they paid out a few bucks to the FSC. Not cool.

So what it did was fuck little guy just starting out and skyrocket FSC memberships through the roof to meet the deadline of the 25th or you won't get put on a special list held by the Special Master. Not fair but hey, that's life I guess. I only have 4 more weeks in this fucking country anyways. Honestly, what should I care? Anyone with 1/2 a brain knows they will not go after foreign webmasters and my pretty maids are almost in a row.
