It Pays To Read License Agreements

How many times have you read the lisence agreement of any software you installed? I am guessing not even once! I know I never do. But it seems like reading it might just pay off!
Can't believe me? Well see for yourself :



A software called PC Pitstop offered a financial incentive in its EULA, and it took four months before anyone responded.

Seems like reading the EULA does pay off afterall! At least in this case. So next time read between those clause's, you might just win some money.

I have read those eula, but not the 10,000,000~ page long ones.

Yeah. If the EULA is small (eg, four or five pages max), I'll read it. But if it's going to take me 20 minutes just to read the EULA... and then another 20 minutes to read a privacy statement and still another 20 minutes to read the installation instructions for a platform that I'm not using... hell no!

It all goes toward KISS: Keep It Simple, Stupid!
