bootlegs are illegal in most parts of the world, but all we do is
inform the public about the dylan bootleg industry since 1969 in an
effort to educate.

The above site is a government site about marijuana.
Marijuana is not legal in many parts of the world. This site is
breaking no laws by simply educating the public on marijuana!!!

RAINN is an incredible help to victims of rape and incest.
voted one of America's 100 best charities.

rape and incest is illegal in most parts of the world.
should this beautiful organization be shut down because they host a
website that discusses these illegal practices?

Obviously, I can go on and on about your careless handling of this
situation.
All that I'm asking is that you make it right.

I am sorry that you see things that way.
Especially in light of the fact that you can point to no rule that we
violate.
We have multiple millions of visitors that, I'm sure, will not be happy
either... once they are informed of your decision.
