I don't know US culture/law - I'm looking at it from a UK perspective ... I 
can't think of anything prior to three or four or so years ago in 
telecoms/entertainment (maybe with the exception of Sky analogue - I don't 
know how they did their contracts) that did this sort of thing.

If anyone has a better idea though ... :)
