Despite the fact this precedence has already been set, as Gert
explained, why do you think it is absurd? These people are bending the
rules for profit against the interests of the industry. Let's bend the
rules back and stop them making a profit and maybe even lose money
from the fees they have already paid trying to profiteer. We should
use any available option that is not explicitly 'disallowed' to close
these loopholes.
