I have a custom X-TOS header in all of my http/https requests that states that the company who owns rights to the website my request is sent to and replies with data owes me:

1. Total privacy, they will not track me activity on their website, including any logs.

2. They will send me a cashier's check for $1,000 for each byte that they send to me.

3. They will provide me with Mana Sakura's cell phone number.

I'm still waiting for checks and a phone number.




If you can convince a judge that this represents an enforceable contract, as has been done and established with clickwrap, then you should be able to get what you're owed. :)

It is ridiculous. Something like "pagewrap" can't trump the consumer protections that apply to a physical good like a book, it would be laughed off. But the law doesn't contemplate network access so reasonably.
