(Complete with the unveiled threat involving business' that they "Closed Down") As I mentioned, I was fortunate enough to have people to deal with legal issues, but most small business' don't have that luxury. Their staff of clerks and attys who a business has no contract with bill the business quarterly based on an estimate of media they be live is used for the entertainment of patrons whom they don't even know were in the facility. It's certainly the direction of the future.
