That's THE point- you just about DO have to be selling something or at least
preventing someone form selling THEIR something- as in the free copyrighted
material you'd be supplying free on the web, in the above example.
I believe in order for their lawsuit to be successful they'd have to prove
you are either 1- preventing them from earnings, or 2- damaging their
reputation. Neither is either remotely happening here, so let's not beat this
to death...
