Poll: Do you read the license agreements that come with software?

[twistedmic]

I never read them, I just click the box that says that I did and that I agree.

 

[FalloutJack]

I also don't do any of the obviously illegal things attached to it. Your standard ToS is a "Don't fuck with us." clause made up of many MANY words implying same. Enjoy your flipping product, don't be a jackass, and things'll be FINE.

 

[kickyourass]

I tend to at least skim through it to make sure they didn't sneak in any "If you install this piece of software your computer will melt, are you sure you want to proceed?" lines to trick the unobservant. Also don't forget the comedic gold you can find in these things, like Apple telling you not to use your Ipod to make nuclear weapons.

 

[Solid Reece]

I read them, but only for the funny bits.
Including the fact that Apple products are not to be used for Nucler weapons.
My uncle taught me how to skim for the good parts.

I have seen that. How in the hell do you use a song to make, test, or devolop nucler,diological ... weopons.

 

[Kakujin]

I know I should, but it is usually to long and dull....

Even if you could use it, it is an Apple product, the nuke would work for a week and then it would refuse to do anything until you've updated the software, and bought some new hardware for it.

 

[Trogdor1138]

Never. What? I don't have time to sit down and read their confusing shit novel length legal document. Nothing will happen to me. If it was something besides software then I would read it though obviously, for something important in real life.

Also, that South Park was absolute shit and one of the worst episodes of all time, this is coming from somebody who has seen every episode several times and loves the show.

 

[Mar451]

Anyone who votes yes is lying.

 

[tthor]

I never read them, they're all about never making copies of the software.

They put that in the license agreement? What do they think their products are capable of?

blast, my plans are ruined! How will I create my musical nukes NOW?!

 

[Icaruss]

Yeah...no thats a lot lenghty, dry text when i just want to play a damn game.In all honesty i just slide down and blindly click yes every time.

Can't install it into the nuke to play a little tune when it's armed?

design it so when the nuke is dropped, it plays on a built-in loudspeaker: "♫ITS THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT, AND I FEEL FINE!♫"

 

[Shepard's Shadow]

Sometimes to see if they say anything stupid.

 

[monstersquad]

I never read them. I'm waaay too lazy, and then apathetic to the consequences. Even if I have to be part of the Human CentIpad.

"Solly Kyre, bullito just too dericious!"

"Oooh, cuttrefish and aspalagus."

I bet you are an Apple fanboy.

I thought it was a quality episode.

Ooh and I also never ever read them, but every time I see them I somehow seriously consider it.

 

[superbatranger]

I tried reading it once. The legalese fried my neurons. From that point, I just click on Yes whenever one of those agreements come across my way.

So because I didn't like the episode I'm an Apple fanboy? Makes perfect sense, it's not like I thought the episode was shit or that I think the show has gone downhill or anything.

For your information, I use an iMac, I use it because it's a good computer and does what I need it to (for personal and work use). Not all of the people that have an Apple product are pretentious douche bags who blindly love Apple.

JUST INSTALL IT *****. I WANT TO SHOOT PEOPLE.

 

[crudus]

I do recall one store including a bit in the agreement in which your soul belonged to the company. If you didn't agree I think you got money off your next purchase, if you did agree they eventually said they'd never collect your soul.

Anyway, do you read the agreements or do you just click "I agree"?

From now on I do. A Japanese game once put a clause in the license agreement that gave them permission to install a Trojan on your computer and take pictures of your desktop to upload to the internet.

 

[Adam Galli]

Never. They're all the same.

 

[Wintermoot]

never read them (only for iTunes ones and it says you can,t use it for the development of Nuclear/Biological weapons)
they can be summarized like this:
if your computer blew up WE DIDN'T DO IT!
property of the xxxxxx corporation DO NOT COPY!
