Says you.  I'm sorry, I am not a lawyer, and don't wish to be one.  However,
I am not debating the interpretation of their TOS.  As you are not the
person on the hook for this, it is easy for you to posture how you will.  I
don't have that luxury.  I don't need the potential of cease & desist
notices, etc.  In my reading, and that of several others, we were at *best*
in the grey area, and at worst, flagrantly violating their TOS.  I chose to
err on the side of caution and remove it and remove all doubt.

As I said... be patient.   I should have a replacement in place fairly soon.
