Does it really work like this? Where I live (Portugal), whoever offers the prize is responsible for all the taxes associated with it. Think of the lottery, the announced prize is always "exempt" of taxes for the winner. And I said "exempt" because taxes are still paid by the contest maker.
And sometimes things occur way too fast for you to call them and try to explain what just happened. One example: today there was a small riot where I live with something like 100 kids destroying things for pleasure. Well, this happens from time to time but they are really quick doing it, this last for something like five minutes and then they run away, so I'm used to call the police but when they get here all they see is some things destroyed and no evidence of what happened. Now, if I could send them a picture or a video then they could see what it was about...
I also support public video cameras on these places (but just these).

Sorry, I'm Portuguese...
Think of the children who waste their time ripping albums for everyone else. What are they going to do, play games? :(
