Just to be clear, when I put in a tagline about monetizable content, it is meant in jest and does NOT constitute an acceptance, either partial or whole, of the new, modified TOS.
{Can the above be monetized anyway?}
October 6, 2011 3:04 am at 3:04 am #814726popa_bar_abbaParticipantHmmmm.
Now will Joseph tell us whether Jothar was ever moser modaah on future modaos.
And will Wolf please tell us if being moser modaah makes you a moser.
Anyway, can you have Terms of Service? Where is the kinyan?
October 6, 2011 3:05 am at 3:05 am #814727amusedParticipantBy posting you automatically accept the posted terms. Your alternative is to not post.
October 6, 2011 2:46 pm at 2:46 pm #814728JotharMemberwhen I joined, the posted terms were different. They changed in middle. I accepted the old, but not the new.

October 6, 2011 3:14 pm at 3:14 pm #814729amusedParticipantBy posting now, you by definition accept the current terms.
October 6, 2011 3:37 pm at 3:37 pm #814730JotharMemberNo. I do NOT accept it. I have never clicked anything saying I accept it.
{didn’t accept the new tos}
October 6, 2011 3:45 pm at 3:45 pm #814731popa_bar_abbaParticipantI happen to know a little about this issue.
In American law, the courts will generally uphold “click-wrap” licenses, where the website forces you to “click” that you accept the terms- even though nobody reads it.
A situation like this one is much more shaky. If it didn’t say anywhere on the screen that there are rules, I would say it is pashut there is no contract.
But it does say “RULES OF THE CR”. So maybe this is different than Specht. Who knows. (What if you clicked on a link from the main page straight to a thread, and never saw the rules? Who knows?)
I was questioning above whether under Halacha there could be a contract, since there is no kinyan. That may have a clearer answer, but I don’t know it.

Copyright is a property right without a contract. It belongs to the author. Music is copyrighted under the statute.
October 6, 2011 4:17 pm at 4:17 pm #814734amusedParticipantI was referring to a halachic perspective.
