Modular Synth Panels

That's absolutely ridiculous and I am vehemently opposed to it. I paid  
royalties when I bought the PCBs. Are they also going to ask for a  
royalty on all the pots and switches needed to build it too? Besides,  
didn't Thomas White design the panel? Shouldn't he get the royalties  
instead? I suppose I should ask for a 20% royalty on all those Neural  
Agonizer and Doomsday Machine panels that Bridechamber also sells,  
even though I didn't design them either. Where does this nonsense end?

Of course, Bridechamber could have silently included a royalty in the  
panel sale from the onset and we'd never have known. Kudos to Scott  
for being up front. Shame on E-M.
