He was talking about real life land, I think. But, um, yeah... these idiots that are harassing Mojang employees have paid that much and more for things on servers, or they're the guys raking in those fees. They play on servers where normal features are disabled if you don't pay, or they want special abilities like flying. They could run a big server of their own for those amounts, but just throw it away.
It'd be a case of cutting off your nose to spite your face, but I'd like to see Mojang do what these people are screaming for them to do, and "GO BACK TO THE OLD EULA." Then enforce it, shut down every server that charges anything at all, and close all the accounts of the violators. THAT might make them "WORSE THAN EA" and, well, not hurt them, really, since they could have really good severance packages on what Minecraft has earned.
