Given that Eric points to the bottom-of-page placement of the TOS as further evidence of its inadmissibility, it's a bit ironic that the first paragraph of his article says "This post will make some suggestions" and the last paragraph, pages down, says "[this post] doesn't provide legal advice"
An interesting read though -- thanks.
- DanBlake 14y agoI think it has been well established that disclaimers on legal advice and commentary are less important than 10 years ago. A reasonable person must be under the assumption that the author is acting as their lawyer. Adding the extra "This is not legal advice" is moreso just a extra nail in the coffin of protection. Its the same reason webmd does not have a big disclaimer at the top of the page saying they are not acting as your doctor.
- tomkinstinch 14y agoAre there specific legal precedents that have made such disclaimers less important, or has it been a general trend?
- rprasad 14y agoYes, generally see the NOLO line of cases.
