Responsive themes, and Amazon.com affiliates |

It was recently brought to my attention that Amazon.com does not allow their affiliates to utilize their links on "made-for-mobile" type sites, per the Amazon Associates Program Participation Requirements:
"7. You will not, without our express prior written approval, use any Content or Special Link, or otherwise link to the Amazon Site, on or in connection with any site or application designed or intended for use with a mobile phone or other handheld device (which prohibition does not apply to any site that is not designed or intended for use with such devices but that may be accessible by such devices (e.g., on a non-mobile-optimized site via an internet browser on a tablet device)), or any television set-top box (e.g., digital video recorders, cable or satellite boxes, streaming video players, blu-ray players, or dvd players) or Internet-enabled television (e.g., GoogleTV, Sony Bravia, Panasonic Viera Cast, or Vizio Internet Apps)."
It's pretty vague, I admit...if I have an Amazon affiliate site created with Artisteer, and it's intended for viewing on a computer, but the theme is responsive so it *can* be viewed on a mobile device, where does that leave me?
Just wondering if anyone else had come across this and what you've done.

You are fine, they are talking about mobile apps, and not responsive designs. Besides, I'm sure this stupid condition was made way before responsive design was "invented".

Yup, that's what I think too, but as selling Amazon sites (and teaching others to do the same) is a one of my more profitable income streams, I need to be sure.
