I guess I just remember when I was starting out in 1999 how heavily some stuff was policed. I had a site where I was using sponsor provided content and had banners up for them, but I also had an ad for a site that wasn't that sponsor's on the site and I had a few different link sites tell me that they wouldn't list me because I was breaking the sponsor rules. I also remember a site using stolen content (can't remember who it was now) and the people on the boards jumped all over them and they were out of business soon.

Maybe I just have a different perception of it and it was happening, but more in the closet where now it is out in the open.
