What is the enforceability of a TOS that you aren't forced to see? It seems silly to make this a legally enforceable contract when you didn't even so much as click through it, or checked a box that says you clicked through it.
When it's possible to, in good faith, use a website without once seeing its TOS, how can it be legally enforceable?
Also, what's the enforceability of a TOS that disallows actions that would otherwise be legal?
There are 4 standard forms of IP protection that would prevent people from using your work: copyright, trademark, patents, and trade secrets. The data on Craigslist isn't protected by any of these, so are they still able to make it illegal to use that data just because they said so?
