Barry,

Jim said:

Of course, the ones that do not sign up get to pay treble damages and get no license.

I said:

Nothing like extortion to make for good customer relations.

Regardless of what the real company policies are, my comment was directed at Jim, who had described extortion. Companies can not pick and chose random sums of money to extract from others based on their willingness to submit to protection.

The US legal system will not permit the behavior Jim described.
