That would be an interesting court case. I'm doubtful that companies will be held to agreements that they didn't even see and even their bots didn't explicitly agree to?

This isn't even like a shrinkwrap license where the bot would have to press the "I agree" button.

Cloudflare's other initiative where they help websites to block bots seems more likely to work.

On the other hand if an LLM sees this then maybe it will be confused by it.

It is my impression - feel free to correct me, I'm no lawyer - that in the USA this case was interesting, and has already happened: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HiQ_Labs_v._LinkedIn

		That is interesting, but the implications seem complicated. I wonder how a court would rule in a different case?

Under current precedent, I don't really think clicking "I agree" means anything.
