Excuse me? I haven't "made up" a story here... I was just telling you where you went wrong. Don't have a dig at me cause you don't like the criticism you're getting here. Ultimately, this whole thing is your own fault for not researching the legality of the competition before you started it. Had you done that, there wouldn't have been a problem. At the end of the day, you promise people a competition and then rescind that promise, then people are going to be pissed off.
My signature sucks.
