So I have the right to put a sign on your garage door that expresses an opinion different from yours? And you won't take it down because you don't want to be accused of censorship, right?
and rightly so. The only purpose of the site is to gain unauthorized access to material that you otherwise would not be able to access. Whether you like it or not, the site owner has the right to decided who accesses their material and who does not. If the company cannot trust you to follow the rules of these websites, then they probably trust that you *won't* follow their rules.
From the BugMeNot Terms of Usage:
"If you are an owner, employee, partner, affiliate or representative (legal or otherwise) of any site which enforces compulsory user registration then you are forbidden from accessing any resource of this site. Failure to comply constitutes unauthorised access."
So, if I, as a site owner, access their site in order ask them not to list my site, then I am using a resource. Thus it is "unauthorised access", so I cannot unlist my site.
Hmmmmmmm. Why is it OK for these bozos to say who can access their site, but it is not OK for the owners of other sites? Sounds hypocritcal to me.

I think your nick is fitting.

No one has the right to decide who accesses their hard work: 0
Pretty binary thinking.
Why is it "stupid" that a site owner has the right to decide who accesses their site and how?
