With all due respect, please explain how it would be best for PTSC shareholders to shut off the infringer identification/notification engine NOW. Even under the best of circumstances, that IS what would happen. That is unless you believe that DL/TPL/Alliacense would be cooperative to the extreme as we put them out of business. And how would this be possible with the Bankuptcy Committee breathing down, in this scenario, OUR necks?

It seems the worst possible time, even if it were remotely possible, especially with DL/TPL being essentially under the control of others; PTSC, Bankruptcy Court/Committee. And the clock ticks....

I apologize, but I just don't follow your reasoning. I'm certainly no fan of DL, and it sure would be nice to be completely rid of him, but the consequences for US would IMO be probable destruction at this point in the game. This again, even if such a move were remotely possible under present circumstances. We couldn't possibly restart the Identification/Notification engine fast enough, and every day lost equates to less in potential revenues.

How many formal Notifications and Data Packs, with present knowledge (TI, et al), in their crudest but acceptable form, could potentially be produced in a day by Alliacense? Form letter with blanks filled in and boiler-plate Data Pack. This recognizing that Alliacense SHOULD have, by now, a huge bank of data regarding probable infringers (e.g., at least some of TI's 80,000 customers, that number per TI). Even with "small" infringing entities, and only few per day, every day lost would potentially equate to big bucks abandoned.

And if we acquired a new Licensing Agent, departing from TPL/Alliacense, what would happen to that "Infringer Data Bank" built by TPL/Alliacense? I strongly suspect it would be either lost or otherwise encumbered for a lengthy period of time - time we DON"T HAVE LEFT. The Money Clock starts upon Notification.

I suggest you do as I and take comfort in the fact that DL is under tremendous scrutiny as I keep saying in recent posts. Consider this: if we jumped ship and were fortunate enough to replace TPL as Licensing Agent in a heartbeat, would we enjoy the oversight and control of that new agent's actions/decisions that we currently enjoy? Probably not.

Respectfully,

SGE
