I wrote these assholes and asked if my situation fell under their patent. Naturally they said yes.
The funny thing was, I told them $1500 was more than I was going to pay. Now they are hounding me daily (Rob Berman) to make an offer!!!! I've got them down to $400 a year. It still doesn't interest me though. I don't make that much off video. I'd just as soon video went away. It costs to damn much to host video already. Once my main competitors dump video, it will be a better world. Meanwhile, I just mailed a check to IMPA for $300.00
If you really want to get this over with, tell them you will got $300 a year and won't sign their silly ass contract. Demand a simple 1 year receipt with no terms. Under no circumstances sign their standard agreement. It is a full on scam.
