Ok, don't sweat it. All the letter states is that they will no longer allow you to use them as a liason for your material. i see th epart about the penalty, blah blah blah. Look, it's hard to prove it's you if they stand behind you on a corner and SEE you sell it, let alone on the net, unless you have given all of your correct inofrmation. If so, then, don't do it again. Claim it wasn't you. The burden of proof rests on them and I don't think they can produce based on what I've read. I will give you this tid-bit though. You made it out, they shut you down. Leave it that way. Peddle to your friends on the street. DISCLAIMER: I am not an attorney and this is not legal advice. I would suggest that if you feel the need, consult with a licensed business attorney in your state of residence. let me know what happens. If there is anythihng else you think I should know, feel free to contact me.
