Thanks for the response

I was thinking about some of the same things you mentioned, and here are my thoughs --

First, besides our adult sites we own and manage a big set of commercial sites which is the bulk of our $ -- Right at the moment all the online busineese are on one set of books -- So if they look at my books they will see gross sales that are 5 times what just the adult side makes. That's another reason I do not want them looking at my books. If they want to see my 'books', I'm gonna give them my CCBill access info and let them see just that! What goes on with my other online businesses that have nothing to do with digital video is none of their damn business!

What I plan on doing is paying the fee this year based on my total gross sales -- Once I have signed the license the first time and paid my fees, then I have 'amnesty' for the years I didn't have a license. At that point I will split the site in two -- then if I piss them off they cannot come after me for the earlier years.

I have read the license over and over, and nowhere in it do I find anything about selling at a 'reasonable fee' or a fee that reflects market value. Seems to me that I can lose $ on one site if I want to to protect the other sites.

Finally, if they say anything to me, I plan on telling them that I have re-organized my sites to minimize my sales of digital video and maximize my sales of everything else until 1 minute after their patent runs out. There is nothing in their license about re-origization to minimize the license costs.

OK, I'll shut my trap now -- thanks for letting me bend your ear!
