How, in anyones right mind, is it ok to sue someone for linking to a different website? They are saying that if I put a text link up, 2 years ago to one of these FHG's that I AM NOW LIABLE? Sorry, I dont buy it. There has been alot of people say that you can get in trouble for linking to a page for this or that reason, and i for one have never seen it happen! Of course for illegal materials like warez, cp, etc. I think you may get into trouble

But for linking to a sponsors gallery, no fucking way man. Alot of links to those galleries dont even come from the webmasters promoting it, friends that like it will share it on their sites, message boards, icq etc, will they get sued?

I am obviously not a lawyer, but I have never, ever heard of anyone getting sued for linking to a page on someone elses server (besides the obvious illegal stuff). I mean, thats why alot of bit torrent sites are still up, because they only link to the content, not host it.

Bah, just go after who you need to go after, and dont bully around the little guys ffs... IMO pork king should be sued for using the content, but not those linking to the galleries.
