[lug] Big Brother taking over!

[Holshouser, David]

Don't most common EULAs say this same thing.
I've been web hosting a domain for almost a year now on two different

that had that in their aggreement and neither did anything about it.
(Esp. since I put in ipchains rules)

Is yours a commercial website?
Does their commercial agreement say that as well? 
What makes it commercial then?
