That thought occurred to me too Northener - on the other hand, maybe it is really time some of those kind of issues got sorted out in the courts, just so everyone at least knows where they stand. At the moment, everyone (companies and players alike) keep dancing around it for fear they don't like what a court might actually decide

.
I also agree with the lack of caring one way or the other anymore. As I said earlier, I *personally* don't like real money involved in my games, and it's not a service I can see myself using, but I am so goddamn tired of hearing people rant about it like it's the end of the fucking world. The argument's been done to death, everybody has an opinion, nobody is likely to change theirs and it's pretty damn obvious to me that my opinion (I wish it didn't happen) is in the minority.
Cheers,
Sorran.
