1. Divert all payments to my personally account while no one can see what is going on.
2. Transfer money to Swiss Account
3. Move to a country without an extradition treaty to either the US or UK.

ROFLMAO! Now this is the most likely scenario

ETA: What's interesting to me is that IS seems to be built on MySQL/PHP with never-ending problems and Getty is probably on SQL/ASPX and I never see any problems. Coincidence?

Well written PHP is as reliable as any other language, Facebook use it extensively and use HIPHOP to transform it highly optimised C++

1. Tell the overlords at Hellman and Friedman that their dividends are not sustainable.

2. Explain to the overlords at Hellman and Friedman that money isn't whats going to make them happy.

3. Restore contributor relations by matching the royalty percentages at other top tier sites.

1. Quit.
2. Start over with new site.
3. Give a fair cut, build community & allow discussion, rethink this whole mid-stock & tiered pricing b.s.

And . . . the next time the opportunity arises to sell out to the competitors, think a little harder.
