Hypothetically speaking, lets say that a sponsor who used exclusive content went out of business, closed down their paysites, paid all affiliates what they were owed and told their affiliates to remove all the content they have for the sites that were closed down.

Fast forward 12+ months....

Now the people who closed those sites down are missing the money and decide they want to open another program but... they also want to use other sites and get new content shot.

hypothetically, since they notified affiliates to take their content down when they closed, would that sponsor then be able to go after all the sites that still had their content up for copyright breach?

My train of thought on this is yes they would, because even though they allowed affiliates to use it to promote the sites whilst opened, when they closed and told affiliates to remove all their content, that is in effect revoking the license on that content isnt it?

Just been talking to Brandon about this and figured it was an interesting hypothetical to pose for you hehe
