Pointless linking to a pay-only site, I agree, or one that only contains a
negligible come-on for a pay-only section.  One that shows a good number
of free stills or even movie clips, on the other hand, I think is
appropriate.
I would not object to the removal of links to sites that contain
pornography without some kind of age disclaimer page (The funniest one I'v
seen recently has a very sexy looking come-on: "Under 18s, click here
NOW!!!!" and it takes you off to disney.com or whatever).
