This is relevant http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Browse_wrap because: there is a legal situation (on which we will not give advice) the resolution of which affects browser and bot innovation. This is the question of whether I am bound by legal terms of use linked from a page I visit (e.g. the American Airlines home page, whose terms of use prohibit linking to it), or to which I apply my trusty digital assistant or bot. I.e. does the terms of use page constitute a binding contract. We can't answer that, but we can say what the effect of it being or not being binding might be. This is a matter of contract law, not copyright law. There is also a good article on 'clickwrap' but that's less relevant. Jonathan
