redline of TOS and Social Contract

Jan 07, 2005 20:45

If somebody's already generated an HTML diff ("redline" in lawyer speak) of the old vs. new TOS and Social Contract / Guiding Principles, could you email it to me at brad@danga.com ( Read more... )

Well, as he says, "so people can review the changes". ;) It'd be to allow people to see what differences there are between pre- and post-Six Apart versions of the docs. And perhaps also to quell any 'Six Apart have changed the TOS to say they can kill our puppies and delete our overrides!!!' worrying.

This particular explanation will be an explanation of the changes in the TOS, not of the acquisition in general.

http://www.livejournal.com/community/lj_abuse/9840628.html -- obviously not useful to everyone but you can see it. I'll have the guy who did it email you the HTML.

This is probably too obtuse for the public?

*bookmarks the page to visit later and read through* Oh, don't worry, I'm technically minded enough to understand it. =)

There's a part in the FAQ about user's not being allowed to show links in their LJ "to a site that makes a profit", or something to that effect (so, it's late and my mind is jello).

Since nearly *all* websites make some sort of a profit, I was hoping for a clarification on that. The wording just seemed vague, and it's hard to follow the rules if they're vague.

This isn't in the FAQ, but the ToS. I think it's what you're talking about ( ... )

out of curiosity, is this why the free ipods communities were shut down?

This isn't in the FAQ, but the ToS. I think it's what you're talking about.

Yeah, yeah...that's the one. Thanks :)

This is a totally unofficial answer,

S'Ok, those are the best kind! Thank you so much for the clarification. For some reason I had thought it simply said "links." I understand about banners, and personally am thrilled to death they aren't allowed.

if you'd prefer an official one go ahead and open up an abuse request (http://www.livejournal.com/abuse/report.bml) part of what the
Abuse Team does is answer questions about the ToS and stuff. :)LOL....I'd rather poke my eyeballs out with rusty spoons and replace them with brussel sprouts...but thanks. The few dealings I've had with the abuse team (as a "plantiff", never a "defendant") have been far more frustrating than they needed to be ( ... )

Hi,
I was just wondering about something. Now that six apart has bought live journal, will we still have frank as our mascot? He's my favorite goat, and I noticed that he doesn't look very well right now. He looks a little sick or something. So will he still be our mascot?

Thanks!!
