Allie: I want this as much as you do, but we need to read btwn the lines here. I hope their is a large demand which forces Spooz a larger piece of the pie.
This is similar to a Disney/ Pixar arrangement. Pixar demanded a larger piece of the pie after rave reviews and success of thier releases.
Please take note that this is recent and there are, countem, 300K subscriptions of the professional service to which spooz now has access. This is exactly the market to target!!!
