Felix sez, “Just found my way onto this site (on the promise of a list of calories burned during sex), and noticed the little note at the bottom saying I’d agreed to their user licence just by visiting.
And what a joy it is! My favourite condition was probably forbidding ‘Accessing a maximum of 20 pages per day and a maximum of 200 pages per month.’
And of course the usual ridiculous copyright bumpf. How common are ridiculous agreements like this? ”
