That shows a fundamental technical illiteracy - they either tell people where it is or are fair use essentially why they can't demand you pay a euro every time you say "Disney" because of copyright.

If I keep a list of every bookstore in town and what they carry (all publicly disclosable and I honor their requests to stop listing) and people visit it often so much so that I can make a profit by posting ads.

If some wanker expects me to pay him to list his bookstore because I am making money on billboards and he wants a cut, telling him to piss off, delisting him and then watching him go bankrupt is perfectly legal, moral, and just.
