Well, the ironic thing is that they rejected the idea of charging a percentage of revenue, since the companies/individuals had so little income from running a station. So the people will just keep playing, and the government will attempt to come after them, and then what? charged a fine of the fees that the person won't be able to pay? and then take them to court, where plenty of lawyers will be happy to represent them and claim that the people trying to get royalties are greedy and have already made their money's worth? hehe derek ------- eggytoast.com ------- with lather thingy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
