I received this email from one of my mainstream sponsors:

Dear Affiliate,

The U.S. Supreme Court has made a Decision regarding the MGM v. Grokster
case. The ruling was not favorable to file-sharing software makers.

The ruling states that "One who distributes a device with the object of
promoting its use to infringe copyright ... is liable for the resulting acts of
infringement by third parties using the device, regardless of the
device's lawful uses," - Justice David Souter.

In other words...
A company or person providing or promoting file sharing applications which results in copyright infringement makes the company or person providing the
application liable to prosecution from the copyright holder.

In an effort to protect our affiliates, publishers and our program, MP3Dollars.com has paused processing of all U.S. transactions.

We ask that you stop all U.S. promotion of Mp3DownloadHQ.com
We strongly suggest that you shift your current ads to countries other than the U.S.

Please adhere to this policy for your safety.
We will be stopping all sales from the U.S. today, June 27, 2005.

MP3Dollars thanks you in advance for your compliance while we examine the situation more closely. We will keep you updated as the legal landscape becomes more clear.

Sincerely,
Mp3Dollars Affiliate Team
