Isn't there a claus about your first born son in the AOL software too? But plenty of companies do the whole spyware thing. It's easier to search a few moan sites than try to translate a EULA. Ed Foster's Gripe Log is a half decent placeto start.

They also make the EULA's long and many people won't understand the meaning of some words.
That's the right word: Abuse.

If you were to site down and look at how many rights you give up in clicking through a lot of software's EULAs, it would startle you!! It is ridiculous how many software companies abuse the fact that people just click through the installation screens..
