The Artist series controllers currently hold a unique place in the market. They'd be insane to just give away the tech and let the Mackie's and Behringer's of the world undercut their sales prices by 30% with cheap knock offs. A CEO who did that would probably get fired pretty quickly.

Talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

Thanks Geoff. Happy New Year my friend.
Fair points all !!

Thanks to you Lawrence for all the productive discussions we have had, and continue to have, and all the best in the New Year to you as well my friend.
