Re: Why Is This Bad? said by Van: would be willing to bet that you have not read the fine print of everything you have signed And you'd lose.
I don't see why this is considered a bad thing. Any contract that involves you paying money for something and which has the potential to really screw you over if you aren't careful really should be read and understood by you before you sign it.

New Orleans, LA | I doubt it. It makes your argument stronger online but nobody reads every single line of every single product they buy. Some are almost 10-12 pages long of small line-by-line words.
I am sure you won't admit otherwise but I doubt I am wrong.
Not mocking you as I don't either |

Mount Airy, MD | And you're more than welcome to do that. I'll continue reading contracts. 
If it helps to convince you, I do not sign up for many subscription-based services simply because I do not like the types of terms in some of these contracts.

Ten to twelve pages is nothing. If I'm entering into a contract that make me financially liable for something, I do read everything. Ask the closing agent that I used to close on my last house. I spent close to two hours reading/signing everything. The sad thing is that the closers said that they've never had anyone read the documents. What??? Why would you not read everything if you're getting ready to agree to pay more than $1 million dollars over the next 30 years?
FWIW, I actually read the license agreements on software that I install on my computer too, but that's a different discussion. |

| Good for you. I do the same thing with contracts, but not the EULAs. Bad me, I know... |
