I also don't understand how they where able to go 2 years without pay and still be able to live. You need to pay for rent, food, etc. Something doesn't add up.

They ended up getting sued later on. Thankfully, they had the money to afford the legal cost.

I think you're right, they aren't a great example, but many 'big' companies did questionable things that paid off in the end.

Of course, had this not worked everyone would call Tim a moron...but since it worked it's pretty awesome.
