Internet Privacy Act of 1995
Have you ever seen anything resembling this on a website before:
Quote:
If you are affiliated with any government, anti-piracy group or any other related group, or were formally a worker of one you CANNOT enter this web site, cannot access any of its files and you cannot view any of the HTML files. If you enter this site you are not agreeing to these terms and you are violating code 431.322.12 of the Internet Privacy Act signed by Bill Clinton in 1995 and that means that you CANNOT threaten our ISP(s) or any person(s) or company storing these files, and cannot prosecute any person(s) affiliated with this page which includes family, friends or individuals who run or enter this web site.
Well, it's a hoax, no such Privacy Act was ever signed. This is just one of those disclaimers that "crackers" and other "not-so-legal" websites use to attempt to justify the files they make available. I'll be putting this "Internet Privacy Act" into the jargon file as well.
