相當爆笑的 EULA

Posted in Computer, Joke, Murmuring, Recreation, Software at 5:31 am by gslin

Kingsley Idehen’s Blog 看到「Proof That (Almost) No One Reads End User License Agreements」,而證明沒有人看的方法是:

anti-spyware firm PC Pitstop buried a note in its own EULA, saying they would give $1,000 to the first person who emailed them at a certain address.

而這個 $1000 用了多久才送出去呢?

It only took four months and over 3,000 downloads before someone noticed it and sent an email (and got the $1,000).

由於在某些國家對消費者的保護比較嚴格,如果某套軟體讓使用者同意 EULA 用的方法被證明會使得使用者「幾乎不會看」,這可能會使得 EULA 無效:

While this is an amusing story, it should also serve to show that EULAs shouldn’t be valid at all.

    你同意嗎?有關EULA

    在一些大家要手動簽署的文件上,大家也很明白自己簽名的法定效力,所以也會看一看同意書/合約上的一些細則,以保障自己。 可是,這麼的一個習慣並不常見於電腦身上。大家有在裝新軟
