Hey guys,
The letter stated that I had 10 days, and asked me to fax in a signed letter stating that I have taken down the offending materials. They didn't specify WHAT items were causing the issue, but instead stated that ALL YAHOO content be removed from my web site.
The letter was a mix of nice and mean, it pretty said "We've decided to give you the benefit of the doubt and wil give you 10 days to comply, if after that time no action has been taken on your end.. we'll sue your ass and shut you down and make your life hell"
Of course, I am paraphrasing..
I am a small community web site, just getting off the ground. I sell advertising space, so I guess that doesn't make me "non-profit".
Anyway, I didn't feel like a legal battle with a billion dollar company, so I complied.
Just a heads up to all you Yahoo! News module users out there, your very easy to find in a Google search.
As for how it was reported, I assume a competing local site that doesn't have half the feature as mine -- probably reported it. However, that is just speculation.
I'll admit though, I almost shat myself when I saw a legal threat from YAHOO! in my inbox, my heart sank.
