I recall Mark commenting how PGO is going to do it. Surely the process is not going to be very easy. Mark has invested in GIO heavily and he is not going to idly watch all the work go down the tube. Looks like after Dec 14, the future financial sustainability of GIO is going to be based on subscription. All the back end operation costs a lot of money and it cannot be sustained without sufficient income.

Bill -- This isn't going to make me very popular, but I for one hope this doesn't come to pass.
The existing transfer process at least involves some semblance of consent from someone in a position of authority in the originating group. If anyone with an email address and this software can subscribe?for a day and immediately clone a group here in , this raises issues both ethical and legal. In fact, it bears a strong resemblance to DVD or software pirating.
As someone fully vested in the future of this platform, I do not want to see ?get embroiled in some sort of court battle regarding group/content ownership. To the casual observer, that may seem unlikely -- but it only has to happen once. And if it does, we will ALL be affected.
