[QUOTE="PJ-Mason, post: 2478683, member: 12285"] I understand that you are "branding" a set of rules that are already available to everybody and that by "branding" them people are either going to "profit" by playing things your way, or suffer the scarlet letter treatment of not having your particular brand stamped on them instead. Hmm...now that was dramatic wasn't it? ;) I don't like it as a business practice and thinks it wrong on matter how many do it as a [B]matter of fact[/B] and i think it has even more impact in this situation. I thinks it wrong just like i know downloading pdfs for free (when they aren't supposed to be) is wrong, regardless of how many nifty legal or business terms it gets painted onto it. Regardless, the last half of this thread is turning into a "Am too", "Am not" circle bleep. :) So i'll just bow out of it. To directly answer the original thread's question for my last post. No. I no longer think its wrong to sidestep "brands". As long as your're legal about it, thats all that is apprarently important. Its just a business decision after all. Thats clear to me now.
