With regards to your recent comment  below I hate to get too technical legal-wise I'm far from being a "armchair lawyer" but the following link garnered my interest.  In it mention is made of one participant failing to forward the test subsequently resulting in a fine.  Granted it was only a test but may set some form of precedence should the legal beagles decide to twist the matter into something substantial in the future.
