I have two quick points. One is a comment and the other is a question. I am really concerned about the commercial viability unless piracy is addressed. That is just looking in from the outside. Streaming to old folks homes, people who cannot get to games and the diaspora is so important, but we must consider the financial viability. If he does not mind, I am going to ask Mr. Quinn the question I have been asked by every person I met in the past four days. With his experience with producers and the intricacy of how it all works, how in God's name was that mistake made on Sunday?
