[QUOTE="jgbrowning, post: 3143023, member: 5724"] I don't think customers are going to be pleased by increased prices on many of the products that are the direct result of James and Steve conducting the merger in the manner they are presenting. There are positive results of this merger for the customers, but there are also negative ones. Saying "shut up or get out" isn't productive nor polite and both James and Steve know that. If you think I'm coming off as less than professional, I'm sorry. I'm not behaving poorly. I personally know James, Steve, Gareth (we hit it of very well at GTS), Phil, and John and my points are germane to the situation. They are merely pointing out those who are fiscally gaining from the merger and those who are funding much of that gain at their loss. I'm also providing a solution that would make the new site's relationship with their publishers less acrimonious and adversarial by suggesting a weighted royalty fee and postulating a slight increase in fees to cover the additional benefits of the site. This is constructive criticism and is considered professional. I was professional when I railed into Steve concerning his use of exclusivity and DRM and pointing out it's flaws and hinderances both for the publishers and the customers and I'm being professional now by pointing out the flaws and hinderances with this merger to both his customers and his publisher customers. My actions concerning exclusivity and DRM, because they were professional, didn't damage my and Steve's relationship. I signed up with his company as soon as he didn't require esclusivity and DRM. I probably didn't have much to do with his decision, but perhaps something I said made sense to him and he changed his opinion. And as Steve and James are businessmen looking out for their business, I'd like to think they are at least mulling over my ideas, because they may be better ones than the ones they thought of. They may not be, but to not say them at all would definitely serve no purpose. joe b. [/QUOTE]
