A "crime" (...still) first requires a law...

[Q=jayjay] There needs to be something done about the thieves .... I don't know what, but something. If a group of lawyers and plaintiffs can go after RCI for something that's written plainly in RCI's terms and conditions, then why can't those same slick lawyers go after upfront fee resale company thieves in some legal way?[/Q] To repeat myself (...once again and for the last time), if there is no applicable law, then there is no way to violate a law which does not exist in the first place. It's really that simple. Even "slick" lawyers cannot change that irrefutable, undeniable and simple fact. The day MAY come when there is protective legislation on this matter, but in an economy where people are continually losing their jobs and their homes, legislation about timeshares (which are a luxury item, no matter how you slice it) is not exactly a legislative priority --- except perhaps to those who have fallen for the "upfront fee" BS and have voluntarily chosen to pay good money to no good or productive end.
