To me it would seam this boils down to a philosophical issue regarding what is information and what is code, and i guess ownership of information.
If someone gives me something directly (like a book or information in a conversation) without a disclaimer or some sort of contract. I would assume it is now mine and i assume the law does to.
And from my perspective getting a response from a http server is the same thing as being given something.
- madeofpalk 11y agoNope. Viewing a website is much like watching a broadcast tv show. Copyright, in most countries, is granted implicitly to the creator, meaning you don't automatically get to 'own' any content from my website.
- matt4077 11y agoYeah, that's not how it works. Copyright applies without notice (and even without intent). And as much as I disregard "Terms of Service" that some websites post (you may not deep-link...), I see that I can't construct the server's response as any sort of agreement to terms favourable to me.
- roywiggins 11y agoIt may be yours to view, but it's not yours to copy and republish. That's what copyright is all about- the right to view and the right to copy are explicitly unbundled, and the former hardly ever implies the latter. You can't assume that if someone lets you into their house, they've implicitly granted you the right to enter their house whenever you want or invite your own guests. There's no disclaimer needed, ever, because it's their property. Copyright just extends that idea to intellectual property.
