Hi Dennis, I certainly intend to do that. At this point using the key generator as community property was merely an idea and isn't set in stone. Obviously, Audyssey.org is here to do things legally, by the book so to speak, so we are in communication with Justin to try and see what can and can't be done with these games. Getting his written permission to use the ke generators after Blindsoftware.com closes is vital to doing all this legally.
