Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - SPONSORS: Where the heck are the new banners?

I hear what you're saying Venturi, I probably didn't make myself that clear. I realise thaey can drop me, file a dmca if they really wanted to, but my question is why? From a legal or a business standpoint, why would someone take umbrage to a banner someone else is hosting, of their own free will, knowing and accepting that they and only they are not covered, to promote that companies product? Assuming of course that the model(s) are of legal age, which I'm to the persuasion of believing, seeing as the banner(s) were available up until this new change to the law, which is more of a record keeping situation than the other possibility?

I may be (and often am) completely wrong, but what kind of business decision is that? Of course, it is their choice to require that, as said, it's their program so you got to play by their rules or get another sponsor

Not sure about the part being akin to the false or misleading advertising, after all, a site that had hardcore banners I assume had/has hardcore content.
