My site won't deliver content in most of the pages without the ads displaying. At the moment there is a timeout built in while I wait for the ad network to increase server capacity to meet demand.

A thread on this went by last week with citations from the FCC. I volunteer as plaintiff if one of the lurking attorneys will volunteer to make some case law by suing cache using sites for copyright violation. > > [email protected] > Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32 >
