Phantast.. Microsoft EULA that c1rcle mentioned was upheld by one court and then defeated in another, now it is being considered by another court. Their terms are what you would consider ridiculous, and yet one court said it was perfectly reasonable.. and this is in the US. Spyware is being installed if you use such programs like gator, kazaa or a host of other software and yet as soon as you click agree on the install agreement, YOU ARE ALLOWING THIS and it's upheld by the court. You can't get damages paid to you for this because YOU AGREED TO IT. Ridiculous or not this is US law. and it's being allowed every day. Shrugs No matter what you want to believe, it's there. Not sure where you are from, but I am sure it's the same kind of situation wherever you are. Since most countries take their copyright law from the US or at least have international agreements on copyright laws.
