I, for one, don’t look good in stripes. I will be coming up with contingency sites, which effectively remove all my affiliate links, and any reference to “illegal” entities such as NETeller, as proclaimed by this new legislation.
I don’t think that referencing Poker and Casino sites by name (w/o any sort of affiliate or HREF links) breaks this law (please correct me, if anyone thinks that I am wrong here). If I am told to the contrary, I will remove these references as well.
The reason I’m doing this is to keep my sites active, for the purposes of Search Engine ranking, and by chance, should a miracle occur, I will “re-enable” the relevant pages of my sites.
The thought of prosecution worries me at the moment. My wife is not into that conjugal visit thing, and at this juncture, I’d rather be unemployed with the pressure of building other businesses to support my family, than to worry about the DOJ making a test case out of me. Yes, it’s all hard to swallow at the moment, but anger is the wrong emotion to be displaying at this time. I need to channel my energies into new markets, using the skills that I’ve acquired to the industry that has treated me well for a while.
I’ll wait to Bush-league adds his John Hancock to the bill, before I do the above. And, of course, I’ll await the legal advice that Professor and others will share with us here.
I must say that this is a great community here at CAP. If it is forced to shut down, I just want to say that this forum is the best ! Yes, it is true, CAP rocks big time !
