I have just had the disclaimer of PrefLetter (Coming Soon!<\/a>) prepared. Everybody will be familiar with these things – I needed to ensure that the work was clearly labelled as generic and that there were prohibitions against redistribution or other abuse.<\/p>\n

Very disappointing. Not only did counsel cross out EVERY SINGLE MENTION of “thumbscrews” in the prohibition, but I am advised that “evisceration” is no longer considered a legal remedy. Hell.<\/p>\n

And I’ve learnt about the subscription restrictions. As I am licensed in Ontario, I am able to sell subscriptions to any Ontario resident; there are also exemptions in place such that I can sell subscriptions to Quebec residents who are registered in Quebec. But nobody else, not unless I get registered in other provinces. I will, however, maintain a list of the business I’m losing due to these restrictions and will\u00a0apply for registration\u00a0anywhere I think I can at least break even.<\/p>\n

The various levels of restriction seem a little strange to me:<\/p>\n
