What happen was MC applied a long standing rule that basically says to process a site you need to be shown as the owner of said site. So with that fines were handed out..
From what I have seen Hotmovies simply pointed all the WL's to normal theaters/URL's that they own with the correct webmaster ID *not just dropped the sites and 404 them* so webmaster need only check the links to make sure their ID's links are correct, as with anything nothing is 100%.
With the number of sites affected even a .01% error rate will mean that some peoples links will not be correct.
You may also want to point what happen out to any other company you have WL with as the same rules apply to them and they should be changing the whois *at the least to their information to show they are in control of the site and its content.
Maybe a rep from a processing company can explain the rules regarding this so that we all learn from this. Webmasters and companies alike
