The "buy a blank PDF" part of that site made me chuckle. I wonder what accounting reasons there would be to do that rather than just ask for a tip, or if he did it simply for the humor.
- Hamuko 3y agoSoliciting donations without a permit is potentially illegal in my country, so selling a worthless item might be a better way to go about it. Might be something like that.
- xcdzvyn 3y agoWow, a permit is 300 EUR + 120 EUR / year. There's no way this can really cover a single person asking for donations on their website, can it? That's insane. It also looks like you need to specify information about your "organisation", including specifying a treasurer? How could a single person even fill this out if they wanted to? ~~ It appears permits aren't given to individuals and there is simply no legal way for a given person to ask for donations in Finland.
- niemandhier 3y agoWhich country is this?
- tssge 3y agoFinland for example.
- falcor84 3y agoI would assume you would act as your own treasurer, no?
- Hamuko 3y agoI think that's a feature, not a bug. Money collection permits are really meant for non-profits, not individuals.
- suddenclarity 3y agoI think it's a non-issue since I doubt this would count as a donation in a legal sense. It's the same with Twitch streamers. You pay them because they do X and then it's a regular work income, not a donation.

- rognjen 3y agoIt's 50% a joke, 25% laziness (because I didn't want to have to figure out how to generate a PDF and create a product for ezch post) and 25% an experiment because I had a tip link and over several hundred thousand views I had 0 tips. Happy to report I've had one person buy the PDF.
