Do you mind when people post your price data on Amazon Goldbox and Lightning Deals?

Do you mind when people post your price data on Amazon Goldbox and Lightning Deals? This question came up in the comment in today's (Aug 20, 2009) Goldbox deal, so I thought I would ask you. On the one hand, your TOS says that your site's information is copyrighted, so perhaps it shouldn't be posted. On the other hand, you get good publicity that way so you may be fine with it being posted on these deal pages.

I realize I could have sent you an email, but this way your answer can be cited.

Thanks,

I have no problem with our info. being posted to the gold box or other Amazon threads. It is provided to be used/useful!

The copyright is mainly for people who would steal the layout and/or other ideas from the site, or copy its data on a mass scale. Linking from the gold box is great though, I love seeing people do that! :]
