True, but from a security point of view these have little value.
Making someone sign a document that you won't visit "torrent sites"
doesn't necessarily stop someone from doing so intentionally. Even
less so when they do it unintentionally. As Simon pointed out himself,
most infections happen through compromised websites, which means
avoiding certain sites isn't going to help you a great deal.
