absolutely ... - spreading the news is fine.
the point is: copying my content without asking the people who are actually listed and creating the impression that they are EDB people - this is more than a no go ...
anonymous links are fine ... nobody would have complained about that but putting full names on there without asking anybody? this is definitely a no go and strictly speaking illegal to local law.
so, if you can kindly remove all names which have been taken from our sites i am fine ... - but: on behalf of my clients this is a hard requirement.
