no no no no... If zap2it is a "Value Add" to your "Commerical" product
you are going to become a target. If you disable the ability to use
zap2it in your commerical myth boxen _then_ you would be ok. That or
you negotiate with zap2it. If some knumb nuts pisses off zap2it by
doing what you say and they shut down their service... we all lose.
