New Disclaimer for the internet

Disclaimers. We have seem them at so many places. At the beginning of teleserials, at the beginning of movies, adventure sport shows, websites, freeware software etc etc.

Nelson Rocks Preserve, a private outdoor recreation area, put up a disclaimer on its website in a very creative manner.

This inspired a business lawyer and trademark agent to rewrite the disclaimer for the internet. When you read it, you will find a marked similarly to the disclaimer on Nelson Rocks site. This, obviously, was intended.

New Disclaimer for Internet

Some of the parts of this disclaimer are very true and relevant in today's context and some parts make for a humorous read. Check these for example.

// Ads for things you don’t want and other objectionable content can arrive from nowhere. This can happen naturally, or be caused by people around you that are being used as bots. Spam and disgusting images of all sizes, including huge images, can arrive, or pop-up with no warning. Use of spam filters is advised for anyone approaching the Internet. They can be purchased or rented from us. They won't save you if you get hit by something big or on a port you left open. A whole DOS attack might collapse on you and squash you like a bug. Don't think it can't happen. //

Read the entire text at the link above for more of these. It is a very well written piece. Next time you want to put up a disclaimer, you may want to take cues from this one. :-)
