Re: NASY is BACK ON LINE
Ive worked for an ISP that was owned and operated by a lawyer. It gave me a good feel for what will/wont fly in such areas.
Trying to get old laws to battle the set internet methods is pretty new territory. By old internet, root can boot anyone for no reason at all. By old laws we might think a contract exists but keep in mind that (so far) its even questionable who "owns" a site. You have been allowed to make files on rented space on their computers. Its been compared to hanging a big public sign on property you rent. If the landlord takes offense, he can. Of course efforts are being made to redefine old laws for new internet so things might change with the next court decision.
Thats why I host my own sites.
By the way... any old computer stuck in the closet for not being able to run the latest games can be a server that equals any you can rent space on.
