When was the last time that you paid to see Google's search results? Though Google does indirectly (via advertising) profit from it's ability to deliver search results, it doesn't charge in order to display other people's content. Even with their business model, they've faced many copyright and trademark infringement lawsuits.

Over the years, I've seen people suggest that link list and TGP owners could increase their profits by protecting their archived listings with an AVS. But the one argument that comes up and knocks it down, over and over again, is that charging to show other people's content without proper licensing is a big fucking problem.

Trust me, I want to make money every way I can, but I smell cease and desist orders and lawsuits for that business model.

I responded in your SPAM thread too. http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...38&postcount=4
