I just don't see how it could have taken that long for Fuzer's legal representation to take a gander at the contract. Why couldn't MoW just wait until Fuzer had handled the matter with some legal counsel, especially since the contract was written in a language that wasn't his main one? As far as I know that doesn't seem very accommodating on the part of MoW. In the meanwhile, he has paid to stay in the house so why doesn't he just stay there to at least get the value of what he paid? Maybe Fuzer could reach an agreement with MoW to stay for half the month and then have half the money he paid returned to him. That way he can stay and practice and get better (he mentioned improving while there), he can get his "moneys worth" while MoW still gets half the money. A sort of fee for his leaving the house and not signing the contract. Just a thought but I feel like it could work. Of course, I don't know all the details so I can only speculate. | ||

1. Unreasonable labor obligation with stream revenue sharing - not verbally communicated to players. 2. Unreasonable non-compete clause, at odds with Polish and international law and practice - again, not verbally communicated to players. 3. Charging players 600 EUR per month and then expecting them to work for you? What? Are they customers or employees? 4. Under Polish law, non-compete clauses require at least 25% of median salary during employment as monetary compensation for the duration of the agreement post-employment. 5. Dismissal of player's concerns about contract by demanding to see his legal counsel's license? What the hell? 6. Blackmailing a player by refusing a refund if they don't sign the contract. This is beyond the pale. | ||

This is beyond the pale. you have a point about possibly this being illegal because if they are required to work they are employees and if they are an employee then that means theres minimum wage laws right | ||

If I get together with 9 other people and we all spend 400, that's 4000 a month. Hell, we could have all that and a chauffeured limo to drive us around. Here, an Estonian house, 5 minute walk from a beach, 15 minute drive from the city center, 347 square meters (3700 sq ft), swimming pool, sauna, etc. 1500 euros a month. http://city24.ee/realestate/house/1174203 Electric bill with 20ish computers running 24/7 would probably be around 200 euros a month. Water/garbage/etc would be another 100 tops. 100mbit Internet would be around 40 a month. | ||

I rented a very nice two bedroom apartment by the river in Winnipeg and it was 800 dollars a month. This was well above what a normal apartment would cost, let alone what renting a house would cost. | ||

However, it does totally invalidate any justification for stream revenue sharing. | ||
