Dumpshock Forums _ General Gaming _ You should really care about the TOS

Thank those good guys and gals down at the http://www.eff.org for putting together http://www.tosback.org/ of 44 (and counting) major internet services. As they explain in the http://www.eff.org/press/archives/2009/06/03-0, most internet users are not aware of the TOS agreements they make to use services they rely upon. TOSBack is an attempt to make the information more available and, more importantly, render changes far more legible by highlighting changed sections and doing so in real time.

For game relevence: how long do you reckon until this is mentioned somewhere in the canon of an RPG? It seems a sane, useful kind of metaservice.

FUDGE: Courtroom was better that D20 Courtroom and D20 Courtroom Antics combined. Though, I have to say that the D20 Lawyer's Manual did have some of the scariest monsters ever.

PS Jokes aside, the TOS change monitor is a pretty cool idea.
