In this case its' even worse because he has other sponsors he can point this to and just replace your content and go on about his day so it will cost you whatever sales you were worried about anyhow in addition to all of the extra traffic.
It's a dumb policy. A dumb policy with good intentions but a dumb policy regardless.
Sigh.
