Well, Facebook just tried it on WRT copyright and had to eat large amounts of crow, with a side serving of humble pie.

Would it be a “big red paw” in this instance?

I do loathe those contracts. The parties have such an unequal bargaining position that the consumer is evidently never going to be in a position to negotiate different terms. Although like a good libertarian SL I’m assuming you would say that the market will provide alternatives if the terms offered by a particular company are unreasonable.

The funniest suggestion I have seen in relation to this is to use a Schroedinger’s Cat acceptance system – put the cat and computer in a box, and rig it up so that if the cat dies you have accepted the contract. Until you open the box, you have neither accepted nor not accepted the contract…

Best post you’ve ever written. Fab.

Was waiting for the quotation about the ‘big red hand’ drawing the party’s attention to the terms…
