Normally what a company does about redistribution of an otherwise free
product is send a cease and desist order first. This has qorked to open
dialog about fixing problems on a page before. Idon't remember what list
it was on but last year someone on a blind related list went through the
process with broadcast.com. In the end it was agreed that he could send
all the links via email to friends, but not leave his page with the links
bypassing the ads up for all to see. They also wanted to make sure he
wasn't modifying them to skip the 30 second comercial proceeding the real
stuff if memory serves correctly.

Some companies won't worry about the publicity figuring that it won't be
too bad. They may figure you will only get regional coverage and people
forget things quickly anyway.
