AFAICT, all the onerous stuff is in a (dubious) click-wrap license. I
was planning on having my fiancee install the software for me on my
Windows box to get around that, but that was before I saw (in the
dead-tree docs that came with the device) that they wanted scads of
personal information.
<question type="rhetorical" value="semi">
So, considering the questionable legality of EULAs and such, and the
fact that I didn't have to sign any contract to get it, *and* the fact
that I haven't installed the software (and thereby "agreed" to the
licensing agreement), am I bound by any terms of use on the device?
