I don't know if they feel silly but I do know I put them on a list and they will never submit to me again

Isn't that a little harsh? I don't think that anyone can really be blamed- with so much misinformation, armchair lawyers, general paranoia, and a basic need to keep one's ass out of jail; a little empathy goes a long way.

In my opinion NO is isn't harsh. All the people that let me know they were taking things down until the dust settled are welcomed back.

So surfn are you saying you are punishing people because they are following the law???

just because there haven't been any arrest yet doesnt mean that their won't be and they are just covering their ass.
Myself i would actually look at the sites that did pull content because that tells me they are paying attention and they are serious about the business, and those that didnt pull their stuff if they were illegal I would think to myself HMM if they would cheat the law why wouldn't they cheat me or my surfers sooner or later. Just My 2 cents.

Obviously we hold opposing views. As I said in another thread all who notified me they were taking down their sites or content until the dust settles are welcomed back

I hope that you mean normal stuff that we all consider illegal, and not just what 2257 says.

I'm even considering taking down my 2257 pages that list the content suppliers, and replacing them with a nasty GFY Dubya banner.

Speeding is illegal, but I'd rather tip a pizza delivery person who speeds because I know my pizza is going to be hot. I never request a slow and conscientious driver when I'm hungry.

Just for the record, the only sites I pulled over this latest flap were a few older sites promoting Topbucks that used Topbucks content. The content (with one exception) was all softcore and therefore not even subject to 2257, but the sponsor pulled the license to use that material and told all their affiliate webmasters to pull the content down, including banners. I also emailed all the relevant webmasters several days in advance.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be blacklisted merely for following a sponsor's ToS demands.
