And I'd like to add contract violation *may* be illegal, there are loopholes large enough to swim an elephant through, which is why lawyers like contracts. No such thing as an unbreakable contract.
You may have heard about these lawyers that are suing mortgage companies because they didn't explain the mortgage clearly enough ? An interesting point, most websites, don't actually make you read the license before you start using the site. I'm not even sure where on Google Books I would look to see what my allowed uses are. -----Original Message----- From: Steve Bennett <stevag...@gmail.com> To: English Wikipedia <wikien-l@lists.wikimedia.org> Sent: Tue, Sep 8, 2009 7:33 pm Subject: Re: [WikiEN-l] Google Books class action lawsuit On Sun, Sep 6, 2009 at 6:17 AM, Thomas Dalton<thomas.dal...@gmail.com> wrote: > Contract violation *is* illegal. Actionable != illegal. The big difference is that you could walk into a police station and tell them that you broke a contract or terms of service, and they'd tell you to have a nice day. Likewise, copyright infringement is a civil matter, not a criminal one. The police do not pursue the matter, the allegedly infringed party does.
