Choker I am not sure that is so - wasn't there a case earlier this year or late last year where a couple in one of the southern states went to jail for running kp sites?
One of the sites they used to feed traffic into their shit was a more general type of site and a number of people, not involved with kp, were linking to it.
When the law came calling they also rounded up everyone else who linked to that general site.
One a slightly different note - when was the last time you saw a bus driving downtown with an advert on the side advertising some website or other - now if the website advertised on the side of the bus has video on the site then Acacia is saying that the bus company has to pay a royalty too.
