Colorado Woman Sues Archive.org For Caching Her Site
March 18th, 2007 . by joe
This is what happens when people have a lack of fundamental understanding of the internet and have too much time on their hands. This woman’s website has a statement on the bottom of her site saying, “IF YOU COPY OR DISTRIBUTE ANYTHING ON THIS WEB SITE, YOU ARE ENTERING INTO A CONTRACT”. This “contract” states you are not allowed to archive her site. She has no robots.txt file on her site. She says that since The Internet Archive crawled and cached her site, it was a violation of the “contract” so she now suing. It would really be a shame if she won.
