In reaction to the authors already doing away with the "limited time" and "public domain" aspects of the deal. THEY pushed the "social contract" out of balance, and this is just "The Market's" reaction to it.
What do you say we go back to 28 years + 28 years and call it a night? Oh. Disney won't let you roll back copyright laws to pre-1976 lengths? Why do they have a voice in the discussion if they don't have a vote at the ballot box again?
By 'addiction' are we talking like alcohol, where if you try to break your addiction, you can DIE FROM THE WITHDRAWAL or 'addiction' like caffeine, where you get cranky and irritable?
Because, if we're talking 'addicted like caffeine', then the question is still valid, why is Marijuana, a less dangerous drug than either tobacco or alcohol not regulated like tobacco and alcohol?
When your production instances running on Centos get rooted because of an unpatched vulnerability, and your company gets the same reputation for security as Sony, your entire board of directors will understand why you need support -- even if the CIO doesn't get it..
"Red Hat had this patched on 01-October, why were we still vulnerable?" is the kind of question a CIO hears right before he's fired...
His opinion completely overlooks the fact that it's my intellectual property right to choose whatever licensing I want for my product, and if I *choose* to release it to the public domain OR under any other terms, that is my right.
For ordinary agreements you need offer (contractee) and acceptance (contractor), in a ToS acceptance and assent to the terms is implied by some form of conduct. TOSAmend seeks to make a unilateral contract (one to the world) bilateral (between parties) with no real chance or form of agreement.
I would say that the website's permitting him to log-in is a pretty clear sign of acceptance.
Well, yeah. See the Government only gets to do things which demonstrably secure the aircraft from dangerous weapons.
This mandate is fulfilled by the magnetometers and x-raying of handheld luggage. The body scanners and strip-searches have not been shown to provide any more security than that, and therefore are unconstitutional.
Don't you understand that when you take a job, you negotiate for a "Total Compensation" package. If the value of that is $100,000, and $25,000 of it is in 'benefits', if you cut the 'benefits' by $10,000 you need to INCREASE TAKE HOME PAY by ten grand PLUS the lost tax benefit...
In other words, you don't SAVE any money by cutting benefits, because unless your goal is to FUCK PEOPLE OVER, then you're going to be increasing their take home, so your "Total Comp" package remains the same....
differentiate between the/a statistically rare miscreant who happens to wear a badge,
I dispute the claim that "Bad Cops" are statistically rare. Simply put, any Cop who KNOWS about a Bad Cop, but doesn't 'retire' them, is a Bad Cop, too.

Judith Miller. Checkmate.
Julian Assange predicted all this. See Also: Rubberhose Cryptography.
IIRC, Ronald Reagan famously used "I Forget" while sitting on a stand giving testimony.
But truth is, users need clear interfaces and sometimes they really need help doing even simplest things.
Remember when people used to get TRAINING on new, complex systems and processes?

The OP is right... but it's interesting.

I would say that the website's permitting him to log-in is a pretty clear sign of acceptance.
Consider what happens if your first revised term is: "Providing web services constitutes acceptance of our revised TOS"
Couldn't one of your terms be, "Granting access to your site constitutes acceptance of our modified TOS"?
If your dick is > 1 inch, then why do you kowtow to the Blueshirts at the airport?
Well, yeah. See the Government only gets to do things which demonstrably secure the aircraft from dangerous weapons.

"History's Greatest Monster!"
There's quite a bit of editorializing in the OP...
Don't you understand that when you take a job, you negotiate for a "Total Compensation" package. If the value of that is $100,000, and $25,000 of it is in 'benefits', if you cut the 'benefits' by $10,000 you need to INCREASE TAKE HOME PAY by ten grand PLUS the lost tax benefit...

Ok Blofeld, we'll get right on that...

Problem solved.
We now return you to your discussion of version 322a8b034003c0d46d39af85bf24fee27b902f48, currently in progress...

Campaign Contributors?
If you let your staff horde information and don't actually pay for cross-training time, it's not their fault there's a single-point-of-failure, it it?
Homer Simpson: Okay, boy. This is where all the hard work, sacrifice, and painful scaldings pay off.
Employee: Four pounds of grease... that comes to... sixty-three cents.
Homer Simpson: Woo-hoo!
Bart Simpson: Dad, all that bacon cost twenty-seven dollars.
Homer Simpson: Yeah, but your mom paid for that!
Bart Simpson: But doesn't she get her money from you?
Homer Simpson: And I get my money from grease! What's the problem?
