在 Kingsley Idehen’s Blog 看到「Proof That (Almost) No One Reads End User License Agreements」,而證明沒有人看的方法是:
anti-spyware firm PC Pitstop buried a note in its own EULA, saying they would give $1,000 to the first person who emailed them at a certain address.
而這個 $1000 用了多久才送出去呢?
It only took four months and over 3,000 downloads before someone noticed it and sent an email (and got the $1,000).
由於在某些國家對消費者的保護比較嚴格,如果某套軟體讓使用者同意 EULA 用的方法被證明會使得使用者「幾乎不會看」,這可能會使得 EULA 無效:
While this is an amusing story, it should also serve to show that EULAs shouldn’t be valid at all.
