	The portion of law that you attached to your note seems to apply
only to individuals whose services are solicited and contracted for by a
third party, a "technical services firm."

	It appears not to conver the case where the individual is a
consultant and contracts with the using company directly, without the
aid of a third party "broker."  

	Is that how you see it?  Could you not preserve your
subcontracting status by doing your own advertising and marketing and
contracting directly with the using firm?
