IANAL and I don't work for Youview, but I would be astonished to discover that anyone intended those T&Cs to apply to anything other than the youview.com website itself. From section 2.1: '“YouView Content” means audio, video, text, images or other content made available by YouView to you through YouView.com.' Even when the T&Cs talk about "applications", my suspicion is that they're talking about embedded video players and the like. Perhaps if I was a lawyer I would understand how you can deem people to have accepted arbitrary terms and conditions merely by visiting a website. :-) (I'm not too happy about click-wrap license agreements either. Or that most of the documents that were exchanged last time I bought a house were scanned and emailed, with paper copies following afterwards, if ever. Haven't these people heard of Photoshop?) > Also, I don't like the bit in the tech docs about updates failing silently. Not sure I've seen that. S - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
