    Why bother? It’s take it or leave it.

    One of the key elements is that they will share your information with their “close associates”, which means that they will sell it to spammers.

    I was once charged with writing new bylaws for a nonprofit. I inserted a phrase about tarring and feathering certain malcontents. At the next meeting no one had noticed…

    I skim them sometimes, or at least read section headings. Once in a while there’s one with a sense of humor in it.

    Whenever I am presented most contracts, I scan for certain “buzz words”, such as:

    “Immortal soul”

    “First born”

    “Eternal perdition”

    “No rights that anyone is obliged to recognize”

    I am then satisfied it is just a standard form.

    Now Pam will be seeing ads for lawyers on each and every web page she visits.

    Make it blend with the blither blather we added to our mumbo jumbo.

    I’m sure there is more truth to this than anyone would like to admit.

    The phrases she is looking for are written in 4-point font, in light grey ink, on the page that says (in large type) This Page Left Intentionally Blank" to try and fool you.

    I once read one that stated (tongue-in-cheek), that its rights would still be in effect if there was a Nuclear Apocalypse… ☺

    cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy

    I hope she read and agreed to the terms and conditions for reading the software terms and conditions before reading them

    I’m an attorney and wrote our own living trust and wills, but several years ago we decided to have a specialist law firm update them as I hadn’t kept up with changes and so our kids would have someone to claim against if something got screwed up. I read the trust and wills word for word and caught a mistake of substance in the conflicts of law clause (that’s where if the trust says to apply California law but the person dies in Texas which has different laws, which applies). Our lawyer was impressed and admitted it was an error. He said they’d been using that language for years. He claimed he gave me a professional discount but the round number he charged seemed like the full amount to me.

    So I was right, no one reads those things.

    If you actually read these things you never agree – we’d all be still banging two rocks together to get things done.

    I wonder how often A.I. writes all those terms and conditions.

    This seems like a good point to reference Tom Smith’s “EULA Dancing.”

    Would the T&C in a cemetery plot contract be called a EULA-gy?

    Exactly my experience and point. Good to see that I am not alone in this observation and comprehension.

    They usually say “you are also agreeing to any changes we unilaterally make.”

    What are they worried about? Reading is not the same as understanding, especially when it comes to legalese.

    You say TOS, I say EULA. Tomarto, tomayto.
