Who knows---with all this publicity (negative or otherwise) it can only sell some more tickets for the WG Bash. Is that not always the case---look at all the notoriety that came about when Disney made a stink about not distributing Farenheit 9/11---as one example of negatavism selling the product.

I do, sometimes, find humor in dark situations---but, really, this "blind" business is over the top in bad taste (by the original poster). Perhaps he wants to make tapes now for paraplegics that were downstairs while their radios were upstairs. Bad taste just leads to more bad taste.

On a serious note, though. Just recently I interviewed the executor of the Jim Henson Estate for my program and innocently mentioned that it would be nice to put a shot of the Muppets crew on our website---not so simple. He is an attorney and told me that Disney (which now owns the rights) might cause us a lot of grief. Use Henson instead, he stated, since he is the one who can issue the rights.

Unfortunately, business is getting so complicated in the clearances required makes you wonder how things ever get done---and also know why lawyers make big bucks.

So---what is "handling" anyway? I know postage and packaging.
