The laws are not clearly defined for the web and that puts even the gray-liners at risk. Any day, precedents can be set and all of sudden something we're doing can become illegal or worse, a felony. Seems like a lot of blackhat seos don't want to discuss the legalities of their practice and I really can't comprehend why. Thanks for posting this Quadszilla. This is exactly the kind of stuff we should become more aware of. It’s scary and yeah it sounds crazy but I don’t think you’re that far off here.

Yeah, right. Must be 50% or more who violate that. As far as this court case goes, though, keep in mind that a prosecutor is able to claim anything he or she wants in a case, and to put forth any legal argument. The argument has not been judged yet. When it is, I doubt this line of reasoning will stick.

These ToS are put there for a reason by the site owners, and it is for The Site Owners to decide if their ToS have been broken. Being able to prosecute someone for breaking ToS is not in the Federal Courts best interest, surely they are merely using this as another pointer in their case?
