Avoid Getting Banned by AdSense Due to Copyrighted Material

The Biggest Lie On The Internet Disclosed - TOS Simplified


Making Terms of Service more clear

It is generally accepted that acknowledging "I have read, and agree to the terms of services..." is the biggest lie on the internet. I don't read them, and you don't read them (most probably).
