    I remember all those years ago reading my first EULA for some software I bought. It mostly explained how the software company provided no reparation or responsibility for the software that they created and sold. It was then I decided I was gonna pirate if they were gonna be so sleazy.

      Don’t admit that you read one too much. A court case was recently decided where EULAs are basically no longer enforceable, because the judge ruled that “no one actually reads those things because you made them too long.”

      Makes sense. I have experienced disk utilities that ruined the file system, and of course there was really nothing I could do about it. I think that was also McAfee (But might have been Norton - I was desperately switching between all of them that day)
