That's absolutely ridiculous and I am vehemently opposed to it. I paid
royalties when I bought the PCBs. Are they also going to ask for a
royalty on all the pots and switches needed to build it too? Besides,
didn't Thomas White design the panel? Shouldn't he get the royalties
instead? I suppose I should ask for a 20% royalty on all those Neural
Agonizer and Doomsday Machine panels that Bridechamber also sells,
even though I didn't design them either. Where does this nonsense end?
Of course, Bridechamber could have silently included a royalty in the
panel sale from the onset and we'd never have known. Kudos to Scott
for being up front. Shame on E-M.
