I've been wondering about something for a while...

Can't find a suitable category? Post it here!!

I was of the (perhaps mistaken?) opinion that many people tended to try and avoid Penguin due to it's somewhat unethical practices, including ripping-off creators like Sankey, stocking many of the products from magicfakers:

...etc. etc.

I think that their own video downloads were teaching other peoples effects without permission as well (I know I downloaded Oz Pearlman teaching "Penguin" Jazz Aces when I was starting out, and I'm pretty sure Peter Kane never got paid for that, can't remember whether he was actually credited though)!

I could be wrong, but that was the impression I was under!

Well as I said, the verifiable facts after the Sankey debacle. I didn't really want to start listing them as there are other threads on this board where it has been discussed at length.
