anyone notice that almost everyone's (or indeed, everyone's) contracts are either expired already (Benediba, Copetti, Sheppard, etc.) or soon due (Pierhalbatross in up Feb.)

imagine: "hey UConn, sh*tcan the 30% idea, or we all walk. 30% of zero royalties is zero. take the 5% of $140+ Billion gross revenue over 20 years, bub ... it's more than zero."
