The only thing I want clear is that I will absolutely speak my mind in person exactly the same way I do on GFY. I'm not going to start a fight with you or anyone else for that matter. Don't be ridiculous.
Of course you and Barefootsies see having some celebrity domains with thumbnails linking to a sponsor that I played with in an SEO fashion a few years ago and ultimately abandoned continuing with, despite quite some success, as being the same thing as a content provider packing up celebrity content and selling as if he could somehow license it to other webmasters. That's fair enough and sponsors are certainly welcome to consider that before accepting traffic from me just in the same way anybody should really question if barefootsies owns the content he's selling them. Well, if anyone were buying that is.
Further, can you point out where I roasted Barefootfailure for having celebrity sites? You didn't see me in the Miley Cyrus thread. The only thing you ever saw me call him out for was selling content to webmasters, in the present, that he knows for sure he doesn't have the rights to sell.
Interestingly enough that network was front page google placement for some great keywords for years and years and yet I didn't do anything with it. Didn't trade links, didn't update or promote in any way. Well actually that's not quite true, I used all the same stuff to play with a Wordpress blog to learn Wordpress. Ultimately I don't actively promote anything celebrity because I decided myself quite some time ago it was just too much of a gray area to continue with. Around the same time I also turned over a whole bunch of drug related domains to their trademark owners.

selling memberships to celeb sites isn't always illegal, there are plenty of loopholes that allow you to sell memberships to sites with celeb content. however, selling a license to celeb content is pure and blatant theft.
