WTF is with these Legal Agreements

[Archy]

Legal Agreements (in any shapes or forms) scare me. No one ever reads them so essentially what if iTunes changed something huge without telling anyone like... additional payments for every 10 downloads or something crazy.

 

This really should be put in an "Off Off Topic" section but I really feel like it should be a legal rule for these agreements to have a 1 paragraph summary. I'm willing to read a paragraph but not a pages of boring !@#$

usually its just stuff that covers the ass of the developers and people who distribute the program.

No one ever reads them, unless it's something huge. It's just a bunch of crap they are required to put in, and so if you get into trouble with the software then they aren't liable.

[Caution]

Read military consent legal agreements; funny stuff in there.

[Drox]

They should rename it "Shit that we can use against you if you fuck up" terms

examples please?

[SpaZMonKeY]

Well there's always SOMEONE out there who reads it, that's why there's hardly ever any crazy stuff put in there unnoticed. But then again what if that person stops reading them. O.o'

[GrayFox]

If we wonly agree to it by checking an online box, is that considered binding?
