Re: View Source Infringes Copyright
My browser is "viewing" the source in order to display that page. So by visiting that web site, I'm causing my browser to break that law. They might as well have "reading this sentence is against the terms of use for this site" in their copyright statement. It makes about as much sense.
I can understand protecting things, but that's overboard. It's also rather pompous. These guys seem like putzes. Let's make lots of blustery threats and scare the uninitiated. I'm sure there's a grandma in Peoria losing sleep over this, but elsewhere life goes on unchanged.
