| I haven't entered any TOS when I visit a publicly available site. You have my signature on no documents, you have no agreement from me to abide by any terms at all. If you want me to be held to a TOS... force me to make an account to read your content. >So, you think you have a right to their work product, but they don't have a right to your attention? Why the asymmetry? I think you've made your work product available freely online without stipulation. If you don't like that, DON'T FUCKING DO IT! It's entirely reasonable and within your control to not serve me content. A lot of sites block me with an adblocker enabled, I value my attention more than I value their content. But that's a completely fair exchange - I wanted to read their content, they wanted to serve me ads, I concluded that I'd prefer to walk away. In other words: your "work product" has no inherent value. If you value it, charge for it. Don't make it freely available online. |
