Re: Fighting Spyware

Well, unless things have changed (laws here in the good old US of A do that a 
lot), the EULA isn't valid unless it is printed on the outside of the package so 
you can read it before you pay your money. The courts do not look with favor 
upon undisclosed contractual terms. I wish they did, I would send all of you a 
copy of an contract where you each agreed to send me $10,000.00 which is binding 
upon you if you open the envelope (grin).

Of course, the lawyers for the software companies who write those things figure 
you do not know that.

BTW: the same applies to warrenties where they claim it is not valid unless you 
send in the registration card.

Hi,

Same thing applies to software and computers. They are not exempt from
consumer law.

they basically are. read any EULA (win2k will do).

which country do you live in? I'd like to set up a business there if I
can overrule the national laws just by writing some old guff on a
product label.
