yes most certainly. why doesnt he search around for some free to use tos and adapt them to his needs?
Likely because the person's being a cheapskate.
I'm going to tell you something: an internet marketer sold copies of a software
that creates a terms of use, privacy policy, anti-spam policy, etc. It included a
link to purchase a copy of more "comprehensive" legal docs.
Just recently an attorney who copyrighted his own legal docs is sending letters
to those who used such software, claiming copyright infringement and monetary
damages. So far I've seen them all settle.
That reminds me: someone posted being able to create those legal docs for free.
I'd better warn them right away.
That's one reason why it's preferable to retain an attorney to have him/her
design your legal fine prints for you. Not to mention each state has its own
respective laws on how to deal with certain issues, and not all of them are
treated in the same way.
