Personally, I think Kevin did the right thing. And he gets extra points
from doing it on his own. Why do you think that he should have waited
for LEGO to complain? The fact that he probably _could_ get away with it
doesn't mean he _should_ try... As for the need for Brickshelf to go
commercial, I think we all knew the day would come where Kevin employer
would refuse to front the HUGE bill for all the traffic. It was only a
matter of time.
