Legally, no. However there are social norms against sharing someone's contact info without asking (possibly with a few exceptions if you're sure they will want the call), especially when you give it to an advertiser.
You may be thinking of commercial 3phase wiring where you get 110V phase to neutral and 208v phase to phase. In residential wiring, the final transformer coil is center tapped so you get 110 phase to neutral (center tap) and 220 phase to phase. Note that the two split phases are inverted with respect to each other because the neutral is a center tap.
That is the law, but it makes little sense as long as the rights holder gets their bit. Why shouldn't it be OK for me to buy a full copy of a book, mechanically black out words here and there and then resell it?
If that's OK, why shouldn't I be able to print pre-censored copies as long as I buy and destroy an unaltered version for eaach one I sell?
Since that isn't terribly environmentally responsible, perhaps I should be able to send the publisher the profit from their sale and then print and sell the modified version as long as I keep accurate count of the sales.
At no point is the author deprived of the fruits of his/her labor.
Personally, I found that ruling objectionable even though I had no use for the edited movies personally. But I see that a new service is now available that instructs a modified DVD p[layer to skip the scenes considered objectionable. The Family Entertainment and Copyright Act explicitly authorizes that model.
So by analogy, instructing the browser to skip unwanted bits on the fly should pass muster.
Imagine a "theory" with a bunch of adjustments. So many adjustmentrs that no matter what happens, there is some adjustment that canm be made such that it "retroactively) predicts it. That is string theory.
The big problem with string "theory" is that it predicts everything and so, nothing.
String toolkit might be a better name. It is just that, a bag of parts and tools that might one day be used to construct a theory that predicts something in particular.
There is a great deal of evidence that smoking in some way increases the risks of lung cancer. I don't think there's much room to deny that.
BUT, now look at nicotine use without smoking. Look at all the studies that have the test group smoking and yet claim to draw conclusions about nicotine use.
It's very hit and miss in medicine and we sometimes spend billions on the misses (and then wonder why the U.S. has the world's most expensive healthcare but only achieves mediocre results).
if despite the fines the company is better off the way things are, then it is in their interest to just eat the loss and go on with life because their value will be preserved.
And that's why fines for corporate criminal activity need to be high multiples of the amount they benefited from the crimes. Make SURE the pain is intolerable. Otherwise, they will certainly do it again.

He didn't give hinself shock treatment to erase his memory of the time he worked with us and he failed to deny that he existed during the years of 2011 and 2012. Even though he didn't steal our IP (or we would have sued for that), we want to sue anyway because we fumbled the future and he didn't!

Already happened unless you stretch the error bars because it's inconvenient to your political convictions.

Not if the alternate page actually "plays" the audio to /dev/null.
That's what adult stem cells are for.
If the 1% in America would quit shitting all over everyone, the global 99% would have a chance to catch up.
I thought that was how the reality distortion field worked?!?
True, but it seems string theory attracts more woo and people trying to claim it predicts something.
Pine FTW!
Will Apples be made of wormwood?
I'm sorry Mr. Johnson, your computer has termites.
Calculus was never claimed to be anything else.
Climatology has proven much more predictive than string theory.
Actually, quantum mechanics made a few actual predictions that proved to be dead on.

And then epigenetics have popped up and shown some signs of heritability. Not exactly Lamarckism but it shares some characteristics.

Perhaps you attempted to troll, but it looks like ShanghaiBill sawed you off at the knees.

That and a certain country in Europe.

Brought to you by the people who SWEAR that if corporations are made to actually pay their taxes they'll flee to Somalia.
Clearly that didn't happen.
Let's turn it around, if they lower wages or cut pensions, we just increase their taxes to fund the expansion of the social safety net.

You can only TAKE a selfie of yourself, but you can easily POST someone else's selfie if you understand the technology.
