Doug Peterson asks, "What are the implications of these terms and from other websites for those in education?" Well, let me answer. Here are the terms of use for OLDaily: by reading this website, you agree to reduce your carbon emissions by one half by 2020, you agree to support developing nation debt relief, you agree to make your intellectual and creative content freely available online, and you agree to do one good deed every day. What, you don't like those terms? You're not going to abide by them, even though by reading this far you have agreed to them? OK then. I rest my case. Companies make up these terms of use pretty much arbitrarily - and for all practical purposes, they can be ignored and are ignored (eventually, the law will reconcile it with this fact). For those of you who always abide by terms of use: just be glad I didn't demand half your salary.
