I first noticed it today... slides up at the bottom. I wonder why they felt the need to do this? This is just silly for a religious website.
Anyone else notice the new Terms of Use on jw.org?

Well, I guess I won't use their site anymore since I simply don't agree with their terms of use.
I find it actually incredible that they would do this. What a complete turnoff for anyone who just got that tract that points them here. It's like: wait... what? Well, then, no thanks.

leaving_quietly, you're missing the point. Since ALL their stuff is moving to online only, they are going to try and use this as a prelude to shut criticism down.

From the "Copyright.gov" website:
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair.
- The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes
- The nature of the copyrighted work
- The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole
- The effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted work
- If baltar's conjecture is true, not sure how they plan on getting around that....

Are their "terms of use" significantly different than any others out there? I gotta admit, I rarely read them....
