Steam just gave me a TOS to read last night. I sat and read it. Same BS as all software. I have no rights, they have no responsibility, and they owe me nothing, including not owing me what I might pay for. You also agree not to sue them for anything and to utilize a "third party" arbitrator in disputes (yeah right; another scam to avoid any and all legal responsibility).

I clicked on "I disagree" just to see what would happen. Steam closed. I reopened it. It didn't come back up. Dunno what's up there. Probably was an update to previous terms I had already "agreed" to.

These are NOT contracts. You cannot contractually sign away your rights. These EULAs don't even remotely function like actual contracts. With real contracts, you have options on accepting, rejecting, or negotiating portions of a contract. Try negotiating an EULA.. However, as noted previously, the laws in the USA, most notably post 9/11, are reinforcing the enforceability of EULA bullshit and no one fights it because it's utterly invisible to consumers and lawmakers are clueless (and well lobbied).

While the USA once may have had a great reputation for consumer rights, the EU and other places have far surpassed the USA and the USA has severely faltered and fallen.
Don't worry, soon we'll have the TTIP treaty so the EU will surrender our rights too to the almighty dollar.

That would make an interesting thread.. A contract/license written by the end-users. What would we be willing to give in exchange for a software or service?




On topic: Good for AD. I don't have their commercial software, but I've been eyeing them for some time now, they're right in my alley. This move makes them even more attractive to me.
