Actually, I like the arrangement we have. You get a free CD _after_ the
release if you _have_ made a report. You get the benfits for results
not promises. Also, it seemed that the funding of that was from the CD
manufacturer-distributor. (Essentially, this was the same deal for
'developers' on the project.)
