Guildwatch Fishing Mafia

A guild called Pillage on the Garona-H server has started selling fishing licenses for Wintergrasp.  They've announced it on the WOW forum and everything (second link below).  A license to fish costs 500 gold for an individual or 5000 gold for a guild.  Don't pay and Pillage promises you'll regret it.

Isn't that what we call in real life protection money?  It always astounds me when things that are illegal in real life happen in WOW.
