For those out there who see the effort put into this specific site, with this specific focus, and want to ask me "Like what are you anyway, some kind of nut job?", my answer is "maybe", and my philosophy on it is very simple: It seems like everywhere I turn these days, some greedy bozo is there waiting to take a bite out of me, and it pisses me off. Some folks don't mind being jerked around like that, some don't even seem to notice...but I for one can't stand it, the mere thought makes my blood boil. The aim of this site is to provide a repository of counterexploitation info to aid the everyday citizen in safeguarding against his or her own exploitation (and where necessary, beating the money-grubbing commercialists at their own game).
FAQ
A list of common questions and answers is here.

Disclaimers - telling Liability to go bite a rock since 1999.
Disclaimer of liability
for any injury occurring while reading the disclaimer. You have been warned.
Shutdown that table saw now!
The following disclaimers
are very boring. Do not read while driving or operating heavy machinery.
In no event will anyone but you be held responsible as a result of personal
injury arising from your falling asleep while reading any disclaimers appearing
herein.
General
The information
contained within this web site, including information posted by
official staff, guest-submitted material, message board postings, or
other third-party material, is presented solely for the purposes of
education and furtherance of the knowledge of the reader. While
methodology detailed herein could potentially be used maliciously or to
facilitate activities which are unlawful, this is not the intent. We do
not condone the commission of unlawful acts: in particular, we do not
condone the use of any information presented herein to commit unlawful
acts or for the furtherance of any unlawful activities.
In
English: This site is provided solely as an informational resource. It
will not surprise me if someone, somewhere, finds a way to use
something they read here in a naughty way. People are ingenious like
that. However, information is provided exclusively for lawful purposes.
The page author(s) can and do make no warranty as to the accuracy, timeliness or usability of any information presented here. In no event shall the page author(s) be held liable for any incidental, consequential or other damages arising from your use or mis-use of this information.
In
English: Things change, and people can make mistakes. Even us, the
paragons of godlike infallibility. So, if we write up something on
Tuesday saying Sanford Wallace is selling crack to children, and on
Thursday he changes his mind and starts selling heroin instead,
whatever we wrote up is now completely wrong. Especially if the article
was written Tuesday two years ago.
Sorry folks, that's how this 'time' thing works. So, kindly drop us a
line if you find an error or outdated material - but keep your damn
lawyer on a leash, mmkay? If you're one of the ingenious people
mentioned above, or are relying on some information you found here as
if the fate of the free world depends on it, don't come pointing the
finger at us if this gets you in trouble, messes up your computer,
makes your girlfriend dump you, or crashes the Universe or something.
As a general rule, "But some guy on the Internet told me..." is not
much of a defense to anything.
Policy regarding Harassing, Abusive, or Otherwise Objectionable Communications
To quote ORBS:
"ANY message that mentions the words "lawyer" or related terms in particular
will very likely be posted."
E-mail sent to the staff of this site will remain confidential, and will not be reproduced without permission, except in the following circumstance: The staff of this site reserve the right to archive, copy, reproduce, redistribute and make derivative works of any communication, via electonic mail, postal mail, telephone, instant message or any other media, which is in our sole discretion:
Spam Policy
We detest spam and have
zero tolerance for any spam passing through our machines. Click SPAM
Policy to find out what'll happen to you if you spam us.
This section of
legalese is here to help us collect monetary damages from any spammers who
think our computing facilities have "Spammer playground" written on the
side.
"Spampoena" Policy
A spampoena is an overbroad
subpoena of dubious validity "served" by email to unnamed recipients throughout
cyberspace. It is CEXX.ORG's policy to ignore such materials, and to pursue
avenues of recourse should they become a nuisance. We also reserve the
right, at our option, to apply the Spam Policy
to spampoenas and seek monetary compensation for the use of our computing
resources and bandwidth.
Guest Write-Ins and Third
Party Content
(including guestbooks,
forums, messageboards and other free-response media)
"Third-party Content" includes
guest write-ins and reader submissions, posts made on a message board or
similar media, and materials legally obtained from another source or Web
site (used with permission, of course). Excepting harassing materials described
above, Third-Party Content remains the property of its original author.
While every effort will be made to provide a wealth of publicly-accessible
information, the webmaster(s) of this site reserve the right to reject
(not publish) a user-submitted material for any reason or no reason at
all, or to remove a user-submitted material which is vulgar, unlawful,
useless... Anyone submitting materials (you) retains the right to request
the materials be removed at any time. Any such request will be honored
as soon as possible.
Neither the staff
of this site nor their families, friends, acquaintances, ISPs, upstream
providers, countries, etc. shall be held in any way liable for any third-party
content appearing on this site.
In English: Feel free
to give us stuff to post. But remember that (a) We can delete it (for any
reason or none), (b) You can make us delete it (for any reason or none),
and (c) We assume no responsibility for it whatsoever. E.g. if you post
a defamatory message on our message boards, and some sue-happy loser sees
it and goes out for blood, it'll be your blood and not ours. So for your
own happiness, please don't put any illegal shite on our site! (Yes, I
know that rhymes.)
Third Party Sites (this
should probably go under "Guest Write-Ins and Third Party Content")
"Third Party Sites" refers
to sites or other materials which are stored on the cexx.org server but
are not authored or controlled by Bill or any of the C/X people. These
sites are the property and responsibility of their respective creators,
and cexx.org disclaims any liability for the content of these sites/areas.
In English: This site
includes some stuff that Bill and the guys don't control, e.g. places where
we've given away server space to another site. Bill doesn't go around dissecting
these files with a fine-toothed comb and doesn't actively monitor the content
of these areas. Any concerns about those contents should be addressed to
their owner(s), and not the C/X folk.
An eye for an eye
We take
an exceptionally dim view of sue-happy idiots wasting our time by
necessitating our dealing with lawyers and running up our expenses. To
put it bluntly, we don't like it when a bonehead CEO or hired
shark-tank with not enough understanding of how this country was meant
to work begins rattling a saber at us, hoping to abridge our rights for
no other reason than to inch their profitability or stock prices up a
bit by censoring well-deserved negative press. Looking to do a little
pre-IPO spring cleaning? Go do it somewhere else. As a general rule of
thumb, do not expect us to frighten easily. We've been there and done
that--if you have the idea that waving a poorly-written piece of legal
paper at us will have us downloading brownware into our jockeys, you've
probably got a surprise in store. If you insist on waving paper at us
anyway, we suggest that you make damned sure that there is a solid
claim behind it, even if it means (for all you sharks out there) making
your client assert that the statements they've made to you will stand
"under penalty of perjury". We will act to protect our rights and,
where possible, recover damages incurred by meritless paper-waving.
The end of days
Any
use of this product, in any manner whatsoever, will increase the amount
of disorder in the universe. Although no liability is implied herein,
the consumer is warned that this process will ultimately lead to the
Heat Death of the universe.
