All very true. (Plus, you're not the one distributing in that scenario -- the site that holds the illegal content is the distributor. You're just mentioning it. Kinda like pointing at a drug dealer, and saying "he's over there" isn't illegal.)

However, in the future it may be illegal to use such links, if certain web ad companies get their way. (They don't like you going directly to content, even free content, without clicking through the entire site. You see, they want to make it illegal to avoid their ads...)

As far as I've heard, no specific laws to that effect have yet been passed, fortunately.

Interesting to see American politicians trying to sell that one to US voters.

Check out the Q&A on my Jade Hare auction and look at my response. God am I irritated right now. I really should have blasted him, but I figured I would be better of not stooping.

Very tactful.

I imagine you can sell a list of links to anyone that wants to buy.

However, I was referring to the CDs with all the PDF files; those are blatantly illegal.

The e-mail:

Hello!!!
First of all, thank you for buying this item. Second of all, I am showing that you have bought not only 1 complete set of D&D, but also bought 9999 copies...for a grand total of 49,900.00...that is not a typo...that is fourty nine thousand, nine hundred dollars. I do believe this is a mistake....you MUST contact me and we will go through the proper steps to clear this up. But, if you do want to pay 49,900.00...I only accept PayPal...PLEASE contact me...after all, this is a leagally binding contract and will take some time to sort out. YOU MUST CONTACT ME...please...
Thank you,
cardshark17044

Hmmm, the proper steps. Let me see.....

1. Inform seller that the product is illegal and therefore payment would constitute infringement.

2. Proceed to leave 9,999 negatives.

3. Laugh like a rabid hyena on crack.

The tragedy is - the seller's tone in the email suggests that he feels a faint hope that he is actually going to receive 50 grand! :lol:

(I bet you'd get a phone call from paypal if that kind of folding was put into your account!)
