I stand corrected then.

For what group is it costing sales? Perhaps for the manufactures that may
want to use the PI'd material in other games, but that might amount to maybe
20 sales total? I certainly didn't bear that consideration in mind at all
when I dropped my cash on the counter.  There are clearly two classes of
purchasers then.. the players, who won't give a crap in the long run what is
PI'd and the manufacturers, some of which do seem to have issues with the
products that have PI material.   Since the core base of purchasers we want
to focus on is the players, is it really worth all this effort to get in a
pissing match over PI material?
