- Situation: lets say you are running a mud on a commercial site.
- You charge nothing for the service. Does a player connecting to
- the mud have any rights in-so-far-as the mud goes? If they post
- a message on a bulletin board on the mud, can you remove it?
- Can you delete their player if they "break a rule" of the mud?
- Can you ban their site?
-
- Or do they have actual legal rights that they could take your company
- to court over?
