I agree, but technically these are not 'profits' at all. These are still within my concept of non-profit, all such margins getting rerouted back to the project.Hywaywolf wrote:Yo, Chris, don't say no to this too quickly, but you should tack a dollar or 2 on the cost of the books and modules and use the profits to take yourself to a few of the big Cons and run some games. Maybe by a few books in bulk and give them out as prizes or something.
The real issue, is that of Taxation and legal hurdles. With zero margins, an IRS agent cannot claim someone is earning revenue... however with a margin, however small, they might scrutinize very carefully to make sure everyone who is 'gaining' from the endeavor is paying their fair share. AND, one might have to actually register as tax-exempt organization and all that bureaucratic crapola in order to work within the rules/laws/regulations.
I can understand completely why Solo might simply choose to avoid all such crap involved in that. Don't get me started on political rants against our immense overbearing government and loss of freedom and all that comes with it all!!
