As it turned out, the bit of tortured legalese pretty obviously wasn?t written by or for a company that operates adult entertainment websites. How could I tell? It includes a term effectively prohibiting adult entertainment websites from sending traffic.
Brilliant, right? What?s next ? launching an affiliate program promoting a site that sells books, but that also prohibits its advertising affiliates sending traffic from their book-review sites?

Hustler's T&C prohibits affiliates from using any of the Hustler trademarks in source code. It's silly considering all their affiliate links contain the Hustler trademark.
