vB license agreement
In another thread Filburt pointed out that a user could not use vbulletin to display content that was not of Jelsofts liking or that Jelsoft deemed illegal.
I think this is way out of line and unenforecable. It's like saying GM can take your car back if you choose to rob banks with it. There is a such thing as the first amendment and talk of an illegal subject matter or investigation about that subject is not illegal last I checked. The DCMA is a dangerous and illegal piece of legislation that should be challenged regulaly to prove it's illegality. Jelsoft seems to be playing internet police on this one. Just because you put a clause in a contract does not make it enforceable. Lawyers try this regularly to challenge the laws, but good Judges protect our rights as citizens more often then allowing a dangerous precedent circumventing the First amendment. I doubt it's enforceable.
Any comments?
