| said by gatorkram :Yes it would be, if you read what it says in fine print. They are attempting to make this a matter of contract, and that if you visit the site at all you are somehow agreeing to those terms. Whether this would actually hold up in court is one thing, but what if some person, who has never visited the site decides to do this?
Under what theory would that person have any obligations whatsoever?
