If we don't give the hooks so to do, totally unreasonable.

If we give them the hooks, perfectly reasonable.

If we give them the hooks, and they lose sales or
end up in court because they don't use them,
not only "reasonable" but the probability
that they will provide alternate content for
their Flash content is extremely high.

I rest my case.
