The DSZ transfer protocol is NOT free.  If you are making regular use of
it you deserve to send your payment to Omen Technologies and pay for what
you're getting. 

The only thing "obnoxious" about all this is complaints that people who do
(good) work shouldn't be paid.

Well, wouldn't we all!  I'd like to go to the grocery store and fill up my
cart full of groceries for free, too.  But I don't think the store manager
is 'obnoxious' because he expects my money for his groceries!
