Re: Should banned user mods/maps/etc be deleted from these boards?
Actually Squirrelloid you are correct up to a point. Clicking doesnt make it happen. No warning or disclaimer or agreement can change the law.
However, the law has already made some decisions. Its always changing but there have been plenty of cases. Mostly involving things like what a worker puts on a company computer but they hold. The other factor is the concept of "public posting" which allows a person to retain authorship, but not ownership. They can no longer control what is publicly posted. (latest cases involving google might make some changes soon but not much)
Ive worked sysadmin for a law firm while new topics of internet law was being hammered out. Its definitely still an area where please and thank you is far more effective than trying to quote law. If someone were to request it, then it might happen.
But I agree with others that its a moot point. I dont think either side of this is considering any deletions.
