Re: Junk fax laws said by Julio:Don't want people to come? Don't put it online. I want people to come, but only the people I want to know about it. I fail to understand how people don't understand.
If it's my website, and my url, and my name that I am paying for, I should be able to control who uses it, and how.
If I own www.somewebsite.com and I don't want you using it, then I should be able to sue you if you do.
In this example, I am just talking about the url itself, not the website it might link to.

hiatus | said by gatorkram:If I own www.somewebsite.com and I don't want you using it, then I should be able to sue you if you do. 1. When you register a domain name, such as www.somewebsite.com, you technically do NOT own it. You are paying for the rights to use that domain which is why you have to renew periodically.
2. Your argument that you should be able to sue someone for looking at something you don't want them to look at when it is posted on a public forum will hold exactly ZERO muster in court. Good luck suing anyone. Once you put something that's publicly accessible out there, without protections like passwords, you give up the right to go after people for looking at it without your permission.
You need to learn how things work on the internet and drop the childish sue-happy attitude...

You have to TAKE control, though. You can't just leave the door wide open and then complain when people pop in to have a look around. That's not how it works.

Routing. Drop all packets not from IP address. Problem solved, voila! now only you, and whoever you MANUALLY add can access it. No, I will not even try to get into the technical aspects of it.
As for cingular: they're a public site, and they want customers to be able to access it, they should know that linking is NOT copyrightable: all it is is basically an address. ZOMG YOU CANNOT POST THE NAME, ADDRESS, OR PHONE NUMBER TO MY COMPANY. NEVERMIND THAT I WANT TO STAY IN BUSINESS, AND THE INFORMATION IS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE!

So you want people to be sued from visiting your website if you don't want them to? If you don't want people to visit your web site password protect it - simple!
I know its the American way to sue anyone for pretty much anything, but suing someone for visiting your website when you don't want them to is completely stupid. What happens if they come across your website by mistake. For example if someone wants to go to a website but anciently misspelled it. Then that's it, you'll be sued!
