The Math: 2257 + FSC + YOU = - GoFuckYourself.com

Thanks to the all people responsible for putting this together --

Thanks, also, to Gary Kremen/SEX.com for offering to match membership fees and donations -- THREAD

There's still a little grumbling/lack of understanding out there, it seems.

I hear things like "Why do we have to pay to get the benefits of this stay..." etc.

I thought about it this morning, and spoke to some people who've helped me understand it better.

Usually, when there's a large number of individuals (or companies) who fnd themselves having to address a common legal challenge, they have to either pursue their own defense (with an associated cost) or assemble into a Class (which also costs money and takes time).

In both scenarios you're not only looking at money, but also uncertainty of outcome.

$300 does not seem like very much money to me to become a beneficiary of the FSC's (et al) efforts, and to get yourself on a list that, at the very least, is providing you with an immediate benefit --

As business people we are crying over 300.00 bucks???

we are all grown ups. No one is forcing you to join the FSC.

It is a business decision. It is minimal overhead in a business with next to no overhead.

Join or don't join it's that simple. But don't cry when the FSC protects its members while trying to change/alter a law. If they are successful then EVERYONE will be free of worry.
