sucks

Miss S. is giving away a big hardcover "Art of Ratatouille" book as part of her day job. And I'm not allowed to win it. Poo bum.

how not to do a website t&c

Toby pointed me to this site, which is attempting to jump the gun on the federal election web-advertising bonanza. And then you check their legal page, at http://federalelection.com.au/legal.asp

It's pretty special. You automatically assign all copyrights on anything you post to them, you're still legally responsible for it. Anyone can create any derivative works of anything you post, with the proviso that they must mention federalelection.com.au as the source (and not you). Hilariously, they spell the website wrong in the legal statement (there's no hyphen in the domain name - indeed, hyphens aren't legal in the DNS. Winners.)

The About page gives no indication of who's actually behind it. The company name mentioned in the legal T&C has a placeholder page here. The person listed as the CEO is the whois contact for the site.


update yes yes, I was thinking about underscores. thinking and flu drugs are a bad combination, oh well.
