When that is stored in the database that the person acknowledged the warning, the ISP no longer is liable for the user's actions.

This is great for ISP's and the users because it forces the RIAA and all of those wrls fagbags to go after users - and there are just too many of them, they wouldn't make a dent by going after them (hence why they go after the big ISP's).
If you don't acknowledge the message can you not get to the data? I would just put the server on the pop-up blocker list.

Actually changing the text on a web page opens up a big can of worms, as you are altering other people's content.

Is this only for the web, or for all ports/protocols that might be used for sharing data?
