Tyranny of EULAs
PPCT posts a link to this short but interesting article from the BBC on EULAs. I’d like to say I make an honest attempt to actually read them once in awhile, but then again I figure it doesn’t really matter since minors can’t enter into contracts anyway.
But somewhat seriously, EULAs are out of hand. It’s gotten sad when these things come to 7 printed pages or more of legalese, and in order to read the whole thing you typically need to open the program anyway. Isn’t it sort of obvious that the (commercial) software industry doesn’t really want us reading these things anyway?
