You fail to notice, I don't think the website cares more about loyalty or respect as much as it does about the LAW.
There would be far more people happy and content about the sites compliance with the law than there are those who are butthurt because the site won't break the law for them. So at the end of the day are they going to care if they lose a few peoples loyalty and respect and membership? No. and quite rightly they shouldn't.
