RS> Notice that the vast bulk of your income is coming from the
RS> pyramid structure. THATs what makes it a pyramid marketing scheme.

PN> NO,

Fraid so.

PN> it is illegal to earn income from commissions without doing anything,

It is illegal to get the bulk of your income from the pyramid structure.

PN> you must make an order to earn the commissions,
PN> the SIZE of this order is not important at all,

Crap. Ring NSW Consumer Affairs and ask the, get a HELL of a surprise.

PN> contrary to your claim in the previous message to me that your
PN> income MUST be mostly from product sales. This is not true at all.

Fraid so, ask them.

PN> The requirement legally is that you DO something to EARN the commission,

Nope. Because that would allow all pyramid schemes to be made
legal by something trivial like that. Which is why that isnt enough.

PN> if you do nothing you earn nothing.

Aint enough.

PN> Making an order for more brochures each month satisfies the
PN> legal requirement that you DO something to earn your commissions.

Nope, its still illegal.
