DISCLAIMER:
The short form: Caveat lector. (Translation: Don't believe
every fool thing you read.)
The long form: The materials
on my website, themadcossack.com
are for informational purposes only. Any information contained on this site, or
sent to you via e-mail from me is not guaranteed to be accurate or correct.
If, in the course of browsing my website, reading e-mail (or an
instant message) from me, or acting on information contained in either (such as
trying to remove a virus from your system), something catastrophic happens to
either you, or your computer, I disclaim any and all responsibility for what
happens.
The mail lists we run and administer are done so on our own
free time. We're not doing this to deal with hundreds of mail due to your
stupidity. You will be removed from any/all mail lists at our discretion,
without warning, as we see fit. Some of the things that can lead to this:
Implementing dumb auto-responders or vacation programs.
Using a mail system with quota problems.
Using systems with DNS more flaky than our own.
Sending insipid comments and replying to every piece of mail.
Using mail forwarding and systems that do not follow RFC
guidelines.
Our ISP is not responsible for OUR content. This has been the case
for a long time and upheld in court repeatedly (see below). More recently, the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DCMA) specifically states in Title II, Sec.
202, 512:
"(a) TRANSITORY DIGITAL NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS -- A service
provider shall not be liable for monetary relief, or, except as provided in
subsection (j), for injunctive or other equitable relief, for infringement of
copyright by reason of the provider's transmitting, routing, or providing
connections for, material through a system or network controlled or operated by
or for the service provider, or by reason of the intermediate and transient
storage of that material in the course of such transmitting, routing, or
providing connections, if-
``(1) the transmission of the material was initiated by or
at the direction of a person other than the service provider;
``(2) the transmission, routing, provision of connections,
or storage is carried out through an automatic technical process without
selection of the material by the service provider;
``(3) the service provider does not select the recipients
of the material except as an automatic response to the request of an- other
person;
``(4) no copy of the material made by the service provider
in the course of such intermediate or transient storage is maintained on the
system or network in a manner ordinarily access- sible to anyone other than
anticipated recipients, and no such copy is maintained on the system or network
in a manner ordinarily accessible to such anticipated recipients for a longer
period than is reasonably necessary for the transmission, routing, or provision
of connections; and
``(5) the material is transmitted through the system or
network without modification of its content.
For those who didn't read the legalize above, it states that ISPs
are NOT liable for customer content. Previous case law further shows this is
true:
Prodigy Prevails in Libel Suit
AOL Cleared of Defamation
CDA's ISP Protections Upheld
Blumenthal v America Online and Zeran vs America Online
If you try to mail our ISP they will have absolutely NO
control over our content. If they threaten to drop our connection, we will move
the content to another server outside the
US, to a more friendly ISP with
backbone or to a server in international waters (outside of any legal
jurisdiction). In short, legal threats are NOT a valid tactic against us. We've
gone up against bigger companies and government agencies than you, I guarantee
it.
This system may contain language, images, ideas, or philosophies
that may be offensive to some, and a turn-on to others. This is your warning. If
you do not wish to browse that type of material, hit your back button at least

The Dark Paladin does not
advocate violence. We advocate self-defense. Whether or not you interperate
self-defense as a violent act is your own individual opinion. The Dark Paladin
condemns international terrorism. Whether it be Bin Laden or the
USA. Anarchists oppose all forms of
political, economic, and social hierarchies. We oppose the killing of innocent
people everywhere!!!
Sherman Austin, webmaster of RaisetheFist.com, was sentenced on
August 4, 2003, to one year
in federal prison, with three years of probation. FOR : "distribution of
information related to explosives with intent"
Distribution of information related to explosives is not
illegal........
What's
illegal is the INTENT part. They have to prove you have intent to use the
information to cause further crime or violence .. so I want everyone, everywhere
to be very crystal clear clear when I say that NO INTENT to cause or promote
violence has ever crossed my mind, and we here @ The Dark Paladin UnderGround
Bookseller and The Dark Paladin simply want to educate WITHOUT INTENT!!!!!!
Furthermore,
The information provided in these pages may be technically unsound. No one
lacking proper training in munitions technology and safe handling of explosives
should attempt to carry out the activities described herein. Doing so could
easily result in injury or death of the experimenter, or of innocent bystanders.
