>there's nothing giving you the right to visit a website Except for the fact that it is being purposefully made available to the general public.

  Not sure what you're trying to say, as all copyrighted works are made available to the general public, that being the whole purpose of copyright law.

    I do enter into an agreement when i go to a theater to watch a movie - I have paid for a ticket to a specific movie, consented to the business' rules (who in turn had to agree to the creators rules), etc. On the other hand, when i view a billboard, i have entered into no such agreement. I just moved my eyes and there it was - i consented to nothing, i purchased nothing, i am under no obligation to take any action or to behave within certain defined parameters. Since a website is made publicly viewable, it is not at all like a movie, it is instead like a billboard. I enter no contract when i move my gaze onto a public resource (be it digitally or physically). Or should I start putting up billboards with cameras tracking license plates and MPH, with fine print saying you agree to be physically tracked using my billboards and allowing me to send all collected information to the police and advertisers? And then when you block my camera, i will sue you for breaking the TOS of my billboard, that you consented to by seeing the billboard.

      wrong. you interact with a website. you need to request its files, html, images. You request nothing of a billboard.
