Re: Skype EULA says it's spyware/backdoor trojan? It is interesting that throughout the Skyper Privacy Policy they state:
quote:
No information concerning your computing facilities is collected that is not related to providing Skyper Services, including other installed software systems, non-service-related content, or hardware peripherals. No information about your specific computing facilities will be provided to any third party unless required by the Terms of Agreement of a Service with which you’ve registered....
Skyper will not sell, rent, lease or otherwise provide Active Information to any third party unless required by the terms of Agreement of a Service with which you’ve registered(paraphrasing mine)
Keeping in mind that under the terms of the EULA you have already agreed that Skyper can and will distribute its software via third parties, and those third parties will have access to your pc through Skyper software, and Skyper is not responsible for their actions.
And:
quote:
What Resources Do We Use and How Do We Use Them?
During the course of using Skype Software, disk space, bandwidth and processing power may be utilized to provide the Skype services to you and to communicate with other Skype users. From time-to-time your computer may become a Supernode. A Supernode is a computer running Skype Software that has been automatically elevated to act as a hub. Supernodes may assist in helping other users to communicate or use the Skype software efficiently. This may include the ability for your computer to help anonymously and securely facilitate communications between other users of the Skype Software who, due to network and firewall constraints, cannot establish direct connections. The system has been designed so that being a Supernode will not interfere with the normal operations of your computer
So where does that leave the Skyper user vis a vis third party distributors of Skyper software, who are not subject to the Skyper Privacy Policy? |
