Hi Michael, On Sun, Nov 15, 2009 at 05:05:53PM -0500, Michael Corliss wrote: Your hosting with BitFolk is subject to English law, as stated in the terms and conditions: http://bitfolk.com/policy/terms.html "The Customer is responsible for all material hosted by them at BitFolk, and all use of The Service provided by BitFolk. It is the responsibility of The Customer to ensure that The Customer does not violate English law." Fact ends there, conjecture begins.. As for the law in question, in my opinion it's obviously extremely poorly written and it seems likely that the practicalities will be worked out long before it ever becomes an issue for the operators of small web sites. Perhaps it will be successfully argued that a clearly-worded privacy policy and existing browser preferences will be enough, or perhaps the browser manufacturers will be required to add some features (e.g. default to all cookies being blocked, allow the web site to explain what each cookie is for at the time it is being set). Either way I have a feeling that browser manufacturers and very large web application vendors such as Google will be leading the way in working out what if anything it means, long before any customer of BitFolk has to be personally concerned about it. However I'm not a lawyer and don't really know what I'm talking about. Cheers, Andy -- http://bitfolk.com/ -- No-nonsense VPS hosting Of course not.
