I think we will find Jimmy Hoffa's body before we get an answer. The blink GTC page has been updated with a link to text file of emails between Somer and CCP http://cogdev.net/blink/lisa.txt Which seems to show that approval was given by at least someone at CCP.
Those are pretty damning... of course if Somer was smart, he actually got that signed letter of understanding from CCP Legal.
In which case the situation gets Really Really Complicated.

Don't worry Somer, I'm sure you get some more limited edition ships, or other goodies outta this.
Strictly speaking that is not an authorization for anything - it lacks all the details (it could be referring to wholly another thing than this current scheme, for one)
Still, it does point towards a possibility of "someone at the CCP did not think this through". Lets just hope that the someone was not their legal department because at that point the worst CCP can really do is to tell Somer to stop.

To others, get a room and a argue the minutia of word meaning while grabbing your own dictionaries.
Trust me, neither CSM nor CCP is sitting back waiting for this to 'blow over'.

No worries.
The torches and the pitchforks are here just to make sure of that. No monument is being shot. Yet.

For all you folks gathering the pitchforks and torches and learning to tie ropes into nooses. Do you expect a single or mass execution? Just Somer or Somer and staff or Somer staff and anybody who has ever done business with them?
damn, that includes me.
Or if you are heading the mob towards CCP are you looking for the one person mentioned in the 'email leak' or their entire staff or (as some of you love to ask for) the entire senior management team of CCP for allowing this to take place? Community and CSM thrown in for good measure, no doubt.
damn I made the list again
How much blood, how many bodies do you need to satisfy your craving for justice?
After all, as the queen once said . . . `Sentence first--verdict afterwards.'
I am not apologizing for CCP, just reminding some that this is not an instantaneous kind of thing. But some of you want to skip sentence, verdict, and leap straight to the execution(s) so anything I say to delay that must be stonewalling and sucking up to my masters.
None of the above.
Yet.
I personally expect this to turn out to be a case of Somer misleading CCP, CCP not thinking things through (never happened before, shocker) and agreeing to something that may or may not exactly reflect what Somer is doing.
Once CCP figures out everything (they're in progress of doing it), most likely Somer's thing will be stopped, CCP will do mea culpa on the process that got it kinda-approved and the crowd is told to disperse.
(alternatively CCP gets really pissed that Somer is doing this and applies banhammer / severs business ties, but honestly I do not expect this to happen, no matter how many people call for it)
Remains to be seen what happens to PLEX referral systems. This is clearly abusing such a system, but once the cat is out of the bag, there is a big risk that such abuse will happen again, trying to fly under the radar...

You're damn right I'm going to give credit to a group of people who volunteer their time to assist us at times like this, and take time out of their family lives to be present in meetings that are called early morning or late evening sometimes with under an hour of notice.
They play EVE. They are used to alarmclock ops at odd hours and short notice... 
The only thing missing is the FC that will chew on you if you miss an op / a meeting  |
