TheBigJ Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 why not ask them if they would have a problem with it to help cover server charges
xerox Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 As for bribes - ill accept all money, not for anything at all, just give me money =)
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted April 21, 2003 MTA Team Posted April 21, 2003 We can not set up a donation system due to legal issues
anzas Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 why not? desert combat (a mod for battlefield 1942) set up a donation thingy via paypal on their site, so why can't you?
mavrick_uk Posted April 21, 2003 Posted April 21, 2003 your not making money off of MTA, you using the money as a development.. the only way it could be illeagal is if you sold MTA.. if people donate they can be considerd 'group members' and there for it is not illeagal

MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted April 23, 2003 MTA Team Posted April 23, 2003 we are looking into the legal side of it
me Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 just go ask rockstar... I'm sure they'll give you permission to accept donations.
Warmaster129 Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 just go ask rockstar... I'm sure they'll give you permission to accept donations. ... As long as R* gets 10%.
MTA Team Blokker_1999 Posted April 24, 2003 MTA Team Posted April 24, 2003 we are looking into the legal side of it The problem isn't with R*, it is the local and international law. U guys say it is simple : set up donations, but e.g. in Belgium every donation above €25 can be deducted from taxes. Q1 : how thas that work, and how about ppl from other countries. Which bank account should be used and does it have to be on the name of an organisation or not? U say it is easy, it is not!
Mr.Bill Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 lets just us a canadien bank, no one would car, and if they did, someone could settle it over a beer,
Guest Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 well...the obvious choice of where to have the bank account is Switz i mean their the only country thats like Always been neutral
Mr.Bill Posted April 24, 2003 Posted April 24, 2003 lol trying ifnding out the costs of those, you'd need donations just to get a place to put the donations in, their not cheap!
