I nearly got sued #3

I think it’s 3, I loose count. Also I didn’t count the problems with the photos I took at my school and there is something else I didn’t count but yeah anyway, so, it happened again. I think it’s worth noting that this kind of talk gets thrown around a lot of the net though and most of it is BS. But that’s not saying you don’t have to be careful.

I got an email from the editor of the Dev Shed network concerning CassieNet News which if your not familar with is kind of like the Internet Archive for RSS feeds. However Dev Shed weren’t happy about their content being included. They didn’t mention this on their site or RSS feed though, neither of which have terms of use attached. But it’s not a major problem as they emailed me and I took it down for them, I was happy to do so.

Never the less the original email did contain the phrase:

before we have to resort to legal measures

Also when I responded I got an email from Spam Arrest saying I needed to go to their site to confirm this wasn’t spam before the e-mail would be passed along. Ironically the e-mail telling me to do this got caught my my spam filter. Luckily I checked it for false-positives and saw it as I may just have deleted it and he would never have got my response. It’s a joke that Spam Arrest can’t keep their own emails out of the spam traps though.

The other thing I don’t like about Spam Arrest is that you have to agree to a bunch of terms and conditions that involves paying huge fines if you do sent commerical e-mails. Not that I would ever do that or plan to do that, but what if I didn’t want to agree to the terms? It’s like the government spying on you and saying “well if you’re not doing anything illegal what do you have to worry about?” It still doesn’t make it ok.
