I got to listen to about 30 lawyer jokes in the taxi last week with the guy who helped write those terms in the back seat, adding his own. (I'm not a lawyer- not smart enough). The thing about contests where you give away money is that you have to cover all the bases.
Do you know Christopher Penn and I had to buy insurance riders and other things for PodCamp? It makes sense when you think about it, but just for a friendly meeting of minds, we had to worry if someone slipped, broke their tailbone, and sued us. And that little snip, I think, refers to people trying to hack or break or whatever the site. If you're not planning to hack, the rest of the rules, though extensive, seemed reasonable when I attempted to read them all. (Have you ever read the Terms and Conditions on the 3,044 websites you've signed into? Blech.) --Chris... --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "johnleeke" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > >>SHOULD SUCH AN ATTEMPT BE MADE, > SPONSOR RESERVES THE RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES FROM ANY SUCH INDIVIDUAL TO > THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW."<< > > Yikes!* [snipped a bit] >
