In my opinion, you are doing something nice and beneficial. You are "doing you part" to help the team and their families. I would not be surprised if some of the children could not afford his DVD's. He should be ashamed of himself and offer to team up with you.

If he approaches you again, you might want to ask him if he has the necessary state and local permits to conduct his business. I will give you 4 to 1 he does not have any of the above and is not declaring the income. Be shuttle. "How much did it cost you to get the necessary permits and licenses and was it difficult"? You will never hear another word and most likely will never see him again. I don't know what it is like in California but in Arkansas the last thing you want is the "Sales Tax Revenuers" after you. They are like a snapping turtle, when they bite they do not turn you loose even if it thunders!
