  1. Hmm by rsax · · Score: 1 · on First Worm with a EULA?

    Their business practices might be vile but looks like this is one of the few companies with websites which seemed to handle the /. effect pretty well. Or am I speaking too soon? ;)

  2. Re:That's rich... (did they get my permission?) by tedshultz · · Score: 1 · on First Worm with a EULA?

    I read their ELUA , and I couldn't find the part about stealing address books. So I'm not sure they are getting permission. The way I read it, it only lets them get information about me and my machine, not my friends...

    Less trustworthy are the uninstallation instructions provided by the makers.

  4. Funny points of their EULA by SoCalChris · · Score: 3, Interesting · on First Worm with a EULA?

    From http://www.permissionedmedia.com/license.htm:

    3. Updates/New Information. Permissioned Media reserves the right to add additional features or functions to the version of PerMedia you install, or to add new applications to PerMedia, at any time. As more fully disclosed in our Privacy Statement, PerMedia is designed to regularly communicate and provide information regarding your Internet use to Permissioned Media. Accordingly, Permissioned Media has the right and you hereby authorize it to update or automatically install a new version of PerMedia on your computer when a new version is released to the general public and/or when new features are available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Permissioned Media and its business associates have no obligation to make available to you any subsequent versions of PerMedia. You may not distribute or copy PerMedia (r)other than for backup purposes).

    So you can't distribute their program in any way? Isn't that the whole point of the program? These guys really are a bunch of idiots!

    Eek. From their privacy statement:

    "Applicable Law. The laws of the Republic of Panama will govern this Agreement, without reference to conflicts of law principles. The parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction of, and waive any venue objections against, the courts in the Republic of Panama. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement."

    Isn't that nice. The link to their main EULA is here.
