I'm sorry to push this issue but I was told that the start-up screen is the best way to get out the word about the policy of copybot because the recent blog posts show up, it has since been bumped off the page.
Also as I stated before it is possible to bypass that page by clicking connect while the "loading" is still on the screen.
Would it not be more responsible to just post the info in a notecard that pops up when everyone logs on or a notice to everyone just to make sure everyone has been informed about what is legitimate and illegitimate use of this and what the consequences are?
