Greenguy, I completely agree with you in theory and this issue has come up once before a few months ago - almost identical situation where a relatively small sponsor with little understanding of TGPs was upset that an affiliate skimmed their content. In practice, however, I believe a standard has been set and all sponsors looking to gain TGP traffic should be aware of this standard.

This isn't some sort of fucking union where you can walk around & scream "PAST PRACTICE" & us that break the law! kloot did not have permission to use the content the way he did - END OF FUCKING STORY!

Are you prepared to stop your trades with clearly illegal sites such as Pichunter, Teeniesxxx, and Teeniefiles and brand half the members of this board as cheaters? I think you're being too aggressive in your defense of Torn and your attack on kloot. Are you really telling me that everytime you visited a site like Madthumbs you were thinking, I can't believe the illegal crap this piece of shit CJ is trying to pull?

Believe me, I look at all those trades almost every day & they all know that the term "greenguy" or "link-o-rama" has to be in the TEXT link to me (thumb links are not accepted), other wise I pull the trade. If you see one linking to me in an improper fashion, please let me know so I can pull their link.

Here's a couple of other things to think about
:
1 - Spamming is not legal & is very much frowned upon by legit webmasters, yet your inbox as well as mine is probably filled with it.
2 - Bestiality is legal in Texas, but I don't think you'll find anyone coming to it's defense if we found someone promoting it.
3 - The age of consent around the world varies, but no one ever sticks up for the CP producer when it's legal in his country.
4 - Napster lost & everyone was using that service
JUST BECASE EVERYONE ELSE IS DOING IT DOES NOT MAKE IT LEGAL!
