All of us are familiar with the "I have read and agree to the terms and conditions" box that comes with every program install, download, or upgrade.
Even if we were an attorney or insurance agent and we enjoyed reading all of the fine pront and understood evrything that it said, what if we actually wanted to change something? Can't be done.
Try checking the "don't agree" or "don't accept" box. You're done.
Therefore, there really is no point in reading any of the stuff if you want to use the program. Just check "agree" or "accept" and move on.
The next time you get some unsolicited email from a company that says you requested it, it may be a result of your unintentional, but unavoidable, opt-in in the fine print.
I mean, who is going to start repackaging and reselling copies of programs anyway? This is the main thing prohibited in the fine print. If you do, it's priracy and copyright infringement to start with - regardless of what we signed or agreed to.
I say, do away with the meaningless terms and conditions and just let us use the programs. Thank you trial lawyers for this bit of nuisance that we all have to deal with.
