Also, does anyone have a source for the report that Defkalion is selling franchises? All I can find right now are blogs and discussion boards mentioning it, nothing official. I hope I'm not muddling any facts.
An advantage of such a scheme is that if the E-cat doesn't work, it is not clear that the purchasers have been defrauded. They would still have exclusive manufacturing rights. The rights would simply be for a device that doesn't work. It would all depend on how the contract were worded. An important detail would be what court had jurisdiction and who the enforcing authority would be.
You only have to look at software contracts to see that it is easy to write a contract which completely protects the seller and leaves the buyer with no effective recourse.
Think of it as a car. No, that is not the way to sell franchises because of the varying population counts. Put one worldwide price on the unit and shove it out the door. The wealthiest people will be the first to buy, then five years later when it needs to be refueled your second hand market will appear. The wealthiest people will then be buying the newer model and selling their old model.
Why would I give you $10M to sell to a country that only has 5M people in it when I can give you the same 5M to sell in a country that has 500M?

Does that make any kind of sense?
***It might make sense if you look at it from Rossi’s perspective. B4Ranch might be able to shed some light on this as well.
Let’s say he really knows that this stuff works. He’ll be selling franchises/distributorships/whatever for the rest of his life. But for the next 2 months the only folks interested are those who are LENR supporters. After October, the price of such franchises is going to skyrocket due to huge demand. This is the chance for LENR supporters to get in at a low price.
