When you download software, software updates, and data, have you actually ever READ those fine-print screens that pop up? What about the shrink-wrapped envelope that many CDs come in? These are called "End User License Agreements" and are designed to allow software companies to get you to sign away every right as a consumer, by saying "if you open the software or use it at all, you absolve the company of all liabilties." It has been theorized for a long time that consumers do not actually read these things. Well, now there is evidence. One company put an offer for $1000 in their EULA. 3,000 people bought and downloaded the software, before one read the EULA and stepped foward to claim the cash.
Darn! Suddenly, there is incentive to read the fine print again! (Even for the son of a lawyer like me.)
