Re: Skype EULA says it's spyware/backdoor trojan? I guess we see thing differently.
"THE SKYPE SOFTWARE IS UTILIZED AND DISTRIBUTED BY THIRD PARTIES WHICH ARE UNRELATED TO SKYPER. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT INSTALLATION OF THE SKYPE SOFTWARE WILL ALLOW THIRD PARTIES WHO ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH SKYPER THE ABILITY TO COMMUNICATE WITH YOUR COMPUTER ("OUTSIDE PARTIES")."
This tells me plain and simple the 3rd party software has nothing to do with using SKYPER, in fact you don't need it at all to use SKYPER and to communicate with other SKYPER users.
The only reason 3rd party software is installed is so SKYPER
Can make money from their mules.

From reading the Eula, I would say that anyone using this product has had their pc turned into a spam relay/delivery station.
These types of companies make their money from spam and spyware, all they need are mules(users) to install and use their program.

Vampirefo  , no offence but i don't think you have any idea what you are talking about here. Skype does not come with any 3rd party (spyware) application. if you'd completely read that EULA you'd see that they will be making money by making this service partially premium.
folks, please, I'M NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT KAZAA, SKYPE, SHARMAN NETWORKS OR ANY REASONS WHY YOU DON'T LIKE THEM, OR WHY YOUR CHEESE IS COVERED IN MOSS.
all i'm asking if anyone here know exact reasons for that clause or anyone experienced those 3rd parties communicating with your computer.
and this does exclude Vampirefo's raving about spam

It is as said above, and in the EULA itself, standard legal boilerplate, which limits liability of the software manufacturer for any damages to your pc caused by its use by a third party, whether directly obtained from Skyler, or a third party distributor of this particular software manufacturer's product. As to who the third parties might be, or what damage may be done, well that depends on how you and others choose to use the software in the context of peer to peer chat. Either way Skyler doesn't want to be liable and is notifying you of that fact. |
