I, personally, would be willing to put some money where my mouth is. Maybe not a lot, but I''d be willing to kick in a few dollars. If everybody who felt strongly pitched in, I''m sure it would help a lot. But there would need to be certain guidelines before I''d consider contributing. It would need to be a legitimate, managed account with clear goals. It would need to be somehow split between the defendents in some sort of equitable manner. I think I''d rather see it go to the developers like MVP and Xtreme rather than the publishers like Egames and GTIS. It would need to accept large and small donations, corporate, individual and anonymous. Does anybody have any experience with setting up (or contributing to) a legal defense fund? Dave S., why don''t you look into this. Ask your lawyers if they know a good way to do it. They''d probably be happy to go to work on this idea. Diana

I really know nothing about something like this, although I appreciate the effort. I think as one of the defendants, this is a discussion I should stay out of.

Is there an address for this yet?

No address. I don''t think anybody is working on this. I don''t know how to set it up. Do you?

I''d be willing to contribute to a fund if I knew it was handled by some responsible 3rd party and had some conditions on it, like the money can only be used for a developer who makes less than $x per year, who is obviously being sued to be put out of business, etc.
