Naughty America offers "amnesty"?

[Toby]

Domains using the actual trademark 'naughtyamerica' are pretty cut and dry, but I think they'll have some difficulty pursuing legal action against variations and misspellings.

What this really says, IMO, is that they are becoming much more focused on generating in-house traffic and do not wish to compete with affiliates for those SE terms.

They've got great content, but conversions suck ass. I use them as filler on my pornstar TGP. Year to date ratio 1:24,550

They would not necessarily have a problem going after mispells and variations because that is exactly the kind of stuff that trademarks and copyrights are supposed to protect against. However, they would need to spell out very clearly what the terms of use are for the TM and the Copyrights and if any rights to use those are being granted at all.
