I wish I had any faith that this wasn't the first time it occurred to them that they should consult a lawyer with regards to their TOS.
Hello everyone, we just want to let you all know that we have seen this post and read nearly every comment left here, as well as all the email messages we have received on this issue. As is obvious from the number of discussions going on here, this is a complicated issue and there isn't even any clear consensus among the user base on how this should be dealt with. We are aware, however, that our TOS is currently vague on this issue in particular, but it is an issue we will need a bit of time to formulate a more specific approach to (for one, we'd like to confer with a lawyer who specializes in internet-related laws). We do promise that we will do research into this topic and add more clarity to the TOS on this subject before the site exits beta and opens to the public. (emphasis added)
