Ireckon, everyone gives a sigh of relief when the school bully says he will be away for a few days.... followed by additional despair when he turns up for school as usual. Physcology for beginners. Did you fall for it?
A0148009, I quizzed One of the Directors on the question of lost royalties, because I have first hand experience of just what lengths Far Eastern Companies will go to to save their money, or screw you for more of yours. He assured me their checks are pretty rigourous. I take that as they probably won't have more than 3 - 5% slippage. This will be done by a combination of; delayed reporting, "faulty" batches, "samples for testing", etc, etc.
Don't worry about it now, just when the numbers ramp up further!
