First of all, I am not a lawyer, but understand the law. Whether or not a life-time membership is honoured depends on what the law is in the U.S. The membership would, IMO, be considered a liability and when a company purchases another, they assume the liabilities of that company. Stipulations in the deal may change this, but I'd have to see it and take a look.

My first impression, is that IF a new fee is added, those that choose to pay will have their money taken from them. Those that choose to argue the point will not.

I am in Toronto, Canada and speaking from my brother's experience with the cracked frame of his $2500 bike, the company that purchased "Fisher" (the brand of his bike) would not honour the warranty on the frame. This is still up in the air, but if it was me, I would have a new frame no doubt about it. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease!"
