Re: into the public domain unless the company pays up

Ransoms should never be paid. It only encourages the perpetrators to do it again. I know it can be tough when Aunty Maud has been grabbed but think about Uncle Bill - he could be next.

If no-one ever gave into ransom demands there would be far fewer kidnappings. Every time demands are met it perpetuates the crime.
