While I'm not a lawyer (IANAL). I do understand that the the Computer Fraud and Abuse act criminalizes:
" (a) Whoever ... (2) intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains—...(C) information from any protected computer;"Can I put a message into my browsing header that creates my own terms of service that states:
"This computer browser is accessing a web site to collect public information and images in HTML format published by the owner of the web server site. For reasons of data privacy and security, the policy of the owner of the browsing computer prohibits execution of any computer programming code such as, but not limited to, Javascript, Oracle Java, Microsoft ActiveX, and others without explicit permission, and has automated policies set to block execution of this code. Sites that use technical measures to bypass these protections are considered attackers of the browsing computer, and may be blocked and/or prosecuted under Computer Fraud and Abuse act of the United States of America.I suspect this is way to long to put in the browser headers, but I could certainly put in a link to my cloud site, and save the logs of the sites that access the policy. It could certainly be part of the web browser.
If this policy conflicts with your web site, please block your information from being sent to the browser. If you would like our policy to change, indicate your own policy, and we will determine whether our policy can be temporarily modified. "
