And what contracts have you entered into for this "free" access?

And what contracts have you entered into for this "free" access? What have you agreed to, what rights have you given up? And when will your obligations end? Do you even know, or did you just blindly click "I agree"? I know this sounds lame, but freedom isn't free, and you shouldn't have to give up any rights to access the laws that bind you. Period. No exceptions. No compromise. (I should note the biggest problem with this seems to be codified regulations, not so much the codified laws or gazettes, although some states do require a contract to view the "free" versions of the statutes, such as Georgia and Colorado. And I should note the online version of the Code of Massachusetts Regulations from the Secretary of the Commonwealth costs $110 per year and requires a credit card...)
