If you want to read about how we got into this fucked up situation I’d recommend the hacker crackdown by Bruce Sterling (a notorious cyberpunk sf writer among other things) www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/101

jaybone@lemmy.world 2 years agoAre TOS violations felonies now?

Yes, technically any TOS violation is one ambitious prosecutor away from a felony, thanks to the CFAA.

Can I make my own TOS that corporations agree to when they endorse a check I pay a bill with?
ReallyActuallyFrankenstein@lemmynsfw.com 2 years ago
You certainly can! And they will discard that check, charge you for failure to pay your bill, and refuse to negotiate with you in any way.

I’m thinking they endorse those checks without reading every single detail on the check.
