Quote - As stupid as I find the thumb policy, there is no reasonable way to apply a right of way concept to a nominally free, privately owned website. This isn't a lawn that people sit on while waiting for the bus, it's entirely privately held and the terms of use are solely determined by the owners and operators. Millions of web sites are run exactly the same way.
Undoubtedly true, but ultimately it's the judge who interprets the law who decides what it actually means, not wha tanysingular legislator has written or intended.
