You shouldn't have taken the site down. Just because someone sends a cease and desist to you does not mean you actually have to cease and desist. Everything you did (from your description) sounds perfectly legal. You should of course always get legal counsel (of the type that actually has experience with internet & IP law), but it sounds like a case where you just got intimidated and buckled.

If Fox says linking is illegal, then they dont know squat **** about how the internet works.

will fox be in contact with forbes for providing those urls? or digg for that matter, or anyone who links to digg or forbes, and anyone who links to them...

I considered adding a question mark to the title when I posted this story to digg, but then realized that by doing so I might be losing some valuable digg loving from people who didn’t understand what I was trying to say. I think the people that aren’t “wise” are the ones who don’t realize what my title was implying. It would be absurd to think that fox was saying that ALL linking was illegal and I doubt that all the people digging this story thought that’s what I meant.But fox did indeed say that linking to there content was illegal, which IS very questionable by the law, of course uploading pirated content to a website is against copyright law but linking to that content it is NOT illegal and fox is trying to say that it is. That’s the story. I challenge you to prove that linking to video upload by a user without permission from the copyright holders is illegal. Uploading the content is…hosting it is…linking to it? No way, and if it was then we wouldn’t have search engines.
