I understand you're new here. But try to be "fucking" civil and try reasoning out instead of ranting.

And as far as the matter of dropbox, a few others in this thread have concisely addressed the real "issue" at hand.

No, I think they completely missed the issue. Which is

* dropbox's customers are not lawyers * serving up people's files without passwords one week reduces people's confidence when the read new TOCs next week.

No, nix that, the real issue is standards of blogging. The author made a claim about what caused the furor, including a quote, and that quote, regardless of whether or not you believe it to be legally equivalent, was not the TOCs that caused the furor.

Had the author made all the same points about, after quoting the original TOCs, then a) I would not have posted and b) you would be right.
