My webpage was at http://www.crosswinds.net/~bae146 . I put a copy of AIM Remote Messenger on it http://www.aol.com/aim/remote.html and my provider, Crosswinds http://home.crosswinds.net/sign_up/terms.shtml complained. Can someone explain what is legally wrong with this?

Maybe you should ask them which rule they think you violated and why they came to that conclusion. You might also try explaining what the AOL IM remote is.

Crosswinds says that you were running a scam... Strange...

I don't think you did anything wrong, from what I see... Aren't AIM Remote Messengers supposed to be used on webpages?

Wouldn't said, uh, thingy, qualify as an affiliate program? I especially love how their link to recommended programs is broken. Anyway, wouldn't it?

Maybe they think that Remote Messenger is a one way ticket to a wretched hive of filth and perversion.

Well, typical. Free web space, paid webspace. They're all bastards.

Logic has no purpose where these people are concerned, apparently.
