Please Help Me Write My Book for You

A few years back we were going to link to a certain site. They asked that all links to them be via a small graphic.

Two graphics to choose from...

One with the words "Member of..." written on it. And another generic graphic without membership claims. We chose the generic one because we were not members (which required payment)

They emailed us and told us we were violating their copyright and we could only use the generic graphic if we were paying members.

After informing them that we did not want to use the graphic with the word "Member" on it because that would be lying, they got even more huffy about it.

Highlight code. Cut. Problem solved.

I can understand a desire not to be linked to if the linking site is totally unrelated. Such as a sex site linking to your tea-towel embroidery business. But when a themed site links to another site with the same theme, and the linked to site gets their knickers in a knot, then someone is a few milligrams short on magnesium me thinks.
