--------------------------------------
Type: Editorial
Reported by: Robert Rothenberg <[email-masked]>

Section: 3

Original Text
-------------
This status code indicates that the server is denying access to the
resource as a consequence of a legal demand.

Corrected Text
--------------
This status code indicates that the server is denying access to the
resource as a consequence of a legal demand or contractual restrictions to content.

Notes
-----
There are many cases where documents are not available in a part of the world because of contractual obligations, rather than legal ones.

For example, a television network may only have the rights to stream a video in a specific country. This is a legal requirement to comply with a contract. Visitors from other countries should receive an HTTP 451.

Instructions:

This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please
use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or
rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party
