Morganni --
I believe it would come down to a Yuku call on that, but, in my non-legal opinion, the applicable portions are here:
Also, section 8, part c:
Finally, the Content section (section 3) has some very good points (Yuku does not claim perpetual, royalty-free license to your work like Yahoo! Groups once did, for example), but nowhere does it state that Yuku cannot modify your content. So there's not much recourse in that direction, either.
All that said... while I still don't think we'll get Yuku to change -- it's going to be hard to convince them to stop making money, after all -- I don't think they'd take any action on what you've already posted. You've posted links to outside resources, that's it -- unless I've missed something. And there's nothing illegal about them; they just tell people how to block software from running on their computer.
So, kinda gray, but I think you're in the clear, for what it's worth.
