Note US Courts choose not to enforce or allow voiding of some contracts, as well. There are considerations that as a matter of public policy end up in exception lists. We care about protecting gamblers; they care about their artists. :) Also sometimers there are are economic arguments proferred to support limitations, eg. Valuing and transacting for an Artist's "integrity" or other interests in a work pose high transaction costs, or suffer from Artists valuation problems. -- James Miller [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
