Further points in the article

Also of possible interest, some format problems with the license (details: »www.benedelman.org/news/112904-1.html#format ):

Gator's license, as currently presented by Kazaa, merges its section headings in with body text, without bold type or line breaks to draw attention to the section headings. Six months ago, the Kazaa-Gator installer didn't have this problem.

Gator's license, as previously shown by Kazaa, used to have a "printable version" link that opened the license in Notepad, for easy searching (Edit-Find), printing, and resizing (the Maximize button, etc.). That link has been removed.

All in all, the license is harder to read now than it was six months ago.

Re: Further points in the article

Someone should archive both versions if possible.

Law 101: if you purposely make your contract harder to read and try to hide critical details under 63 pages of bull, your contract will not stand...particularly when the contract is foisted off on consumers.

Hmmm...in fact...I guess *I* should archive it as this is the area I'm headed for: anyone got a copy of the old version?

I love companies that try to hide slimy behavior behind what they hope you'll believe is a valid contract...

Ironically, my neighbor is an attorney for Claria through the firm he works for... they have more attorneys on staff at Claria than are people participating in this forum.
