no - this means that may & his team (inc. craig & saunderson) will not be paid for their work on DEMF03 (like marvin was)... in other words, they are "volunteers" - it is up to may's team to find sponsors to foot the bills... so, if you know anyone... ;-) last year, marvin never paid in full, so the city was out almost 100 grand that they fronted for the festival...
