An injunction is not precedent. If the DOJ were to show up tommorrow at someone's door who is not an FSC member, you could not wave this injunction in their face as it is not binding law. No actual case law has been set by an injunction finding, all that was decided by the Judge was that there was a strong likelihood that under the current case, in the current jurisdiction (colorado) that yes the DOJ would lose and as such while the case is pending the Judge is not allowing the prosecution to go forward for the parties in the case. If you are a non-FSC member in a different jurisdiction, then it is certainly not a given that you would win an injunction hearing. Alot of the win in Court recently by the FSC can be attributed to their initial strategic planning of venue since their was good case law on the books (Sundance).
People here seem to have the attitude that this is somehow a form of discrimination. If the FSC ultimately wins, the win will be for everyone. Court systems worldwide are no different, an injunction in the UK would operate the same way. Its a pretty simple rationale to understand: You have to be part of the risk to reap some rewards.
