Perhaps, but if my server were located in New York state, posting the

Note section (c). This essential places the burden of interpreting any
notice on the person doing the accessing...
6. "Uses a computer or computer service without authorization" means the
use of a computer or computer service without the permission of, or in
excess of the permission of, the owner or lessor or someone licensed or
privileged by the owner or lessor after notice to that effect to the user
of the computer or computer service has been given by:
(a) giving actual notice in writing or orally to the user; or
(b) prominently posting written notice adjacent to the computer
being utilized by the user; or
(c) a notice that is displayed on, printed out on or announced by
the computer being utilized by the user. Proof that the computer is
programmed to automatically display, print or announce such notice or a
notice prohibiting copying, reproduction or duplication shall be
presumptive evidence that such notice was displayed, printed or announced.
