What state is bitcointalk.org incorporated under to get non-profit status?
The forum isn't registered with any government. You seem to assume that no organization can operate on a non-profit basis without permission from a government, which is a strange assumption to make.
I believe his assumption came from torac's posts which kept stating the forum is a non-profit.
Will a distinction be made between accounts likely not "owned" by the seller, and accounts "owned" by the seller, but where the service the account is registered for does not permit transfer? If Torac sold nzbs.com accounts he owned, would that be okay, even if nzbs did not allow transfer of accounts? -- N/m, saw you just responded to that.
Hmmm... Actually - what's the forum policy on selling forum accounts? Can I sell my own account to Torac? He seems pretty desperate for a sock and has hundreds of thousands of potential future dollars to dole out.
