Jesus, read the fucking post before you go spouting off nonsense about CP.
This guy linked to A site. Which *IN TURN* linked to the olsen twins site. WTF?!
I'm actually sad to see he rolled over, as the letter was nothing more than a blank threat that lawyers send out to hundreds of people in hopes of frightening them.
As for precedence, go read up on it. It it not illegal to link to damn near anything, the case with the NY times against some other big corp. The site was linking to NYT articles, and NRY didn't like it. NYT lost big time. This is again being tried in the DeCSS case, but.. Wait! The injunction only prohibits listing direct links to the illegal content, so the party being sued (2600) just linked to a link site with links to it. It's still up.
So, basically this guy just got screwed in the ass by some idiot legal aide sending out cease and decist letters to people.
I'll go pull my links to google, or to another pornsite right now.. Because somewhere in chain I'm ASSUREDLY linking to someone who links to someone who links to someone who links to that site.
Just simply redicoulous. The nations legal system is an absolute fucking farce, and lawyers like this should lose their license for making illegal demands.
