Re: Support the bill if big business oppose it

EULA: who really reads them... I glance through it if it is a free/shareware prog to see if it is installing spyware... but with all of the mumbo-jumbo in there I wonder if even a lawyer could disect 'em.

that is of course my opinion.

Re: Support the bill if big business oppose it

EULAs are like a CYOA clause, but this only prevents prosecution on the basis of "they didn't know it was going on"

If the outlaw it, it will bring up questionable suits, basically the EU agreed to install such software and had a chance to opt out, etc.

When i see "Third party" in the install agreement the software goes into the bit bucket, not my hard drive.
