Change to terms and conditions

I'm off to see masked mexican wrestling in Camden next month.

I can tell you about this now, since the Roundhouse have just updated their daft linking policy since I emailed them about it. It originally said:

You may link to our home page, provided you do so in a way that is fair and legal and does not damage our reputation or take advantage of it, but you must not establish a link in such a way as to suggest any form of association, approval or endorsement on our part where none exists.

You must not establish a link from any website that is not owned by you.

Since I'd agrered to these terms when buying tickets I couldn't post a link to Lucha Libre London, since it's not the home page; or any link on LiveJournal, since I don't own it. Glad they've updated it.

Still there's hundreds of sites that have an identical daft linking policy

Jesus Christ that's a big load of dumbness.

Glad they've become more sensible.

Are these policies in any way enforceable? A url is in the public domain, surely, how can they stop you just telling it to someone?

That's the point that boingboing are making with their linking policy.

These were the terms and conditions that I had to agree to to buy the ticket, so I guess they could invalidate my ticket. I doubt they can enforce them for anyone who isn't a customer.
