I thought he got royalties for his ownership of certain patents and
copyrights? Hmm, you think he would help me develop my kits? I kind of doubt
it. And you can't see the ramifications of being the only supplier, the only
retailer with Tilden helping with you product, and the only commercial
presence at workshops and on the net has a huge negative impact on the
viability of encouraging competition. Anywhere else in the business world you
would be considered brushing up against antitrust laws. It would seem that
the rest of us have a much harder row to hoe when it comes to developing any
sort of expansion of BEAM commercial presence on the web or anywhere else. In
my opinion, that seriously undermines the ability to expand the technology.
