Same with W8 & W9. They require for anyone you pay.

Incorrect. Check the IRS's own website. Yes, you need to document who you pay, but that does not mean you need a w9 or w8 form. This whole discussion is about the fact that in some cases w8 forms do not apply and cannot be used for foreign affiliates. The IRS acknowledges that alternative certificates can be used. Every major mainstream network knows this.
I get it, this is GFY. People would rather stubbornly argue than go back and check the facts

You can argue forever, but unless you sign a W8, you're not going to get paid.

That means if you buy let's say hardlinks, you refuse to pay unless you receive w8? Or when you buy hosting from a French company, you refuse to pay your bills unless they send you a w8? Good luck.
