No, it's not legally binding. Agreements are only binding if both parties
agree, and someone sending you email has not consented to your statement. If I
send you something with a copyright mark, you'd better respect it unless you
have a signed agreement granting you rights. Federal law always wins.
Disclaimers are bad for two reasons. First, they're powerless. Just because Acme Corp.
attaches a disclaimer doesn't mean they've absolved themselves of responsibility for the
actions of their employees. Second, they're insulting to the employees. It's a big red
flag saying, "We, Acme Corp., hire clowns we don't trust, and THIS person may be one
of them!"
Dear sirs, this is off-topic at best. Pls. discontinue this thread.
