EULA is the legal doc between the company and end user. Many of us skip reading the agreement and skip to the next. This is not a good habit or practise. In case you are a hold a copy of Genuine copy of the software, this affects you more. Warranty information/ Piracy issues, re-sale of software and any damge caused by software... etc. The manufactures hold all the rights to change/ modify EULA with least warning. So cannot guarantee that t
By accepting EULA, we give manufacturer the permission to collect information of you or the Machine. A good example to state would be, Windows XP where WPA(Windows Product Activation) collects your Machine info. Many of us have put in our names in the installation of the software. Music match, Real Player, Winamp, Norton, McAfee everything requires information. May be many of us are ready to give out personal info. what about if I'm dont want to give out all that???
During the process of installing Kazaa Media Desktop, you must install software from third party software vendors. even though u dont need them. so how do u get info on all that ? Answer: EULA.
In some cases, it's important that you know about the components before you install the software, hence reading EULA is worth.
in the end, I would its a Yes and a NO too. I read EULA for all major software for the first time I install or use. Games a no no as am eager to play thatn to read them. LOL

hey i never read any agreement or EULA before downloading/installing/using any software/game.
who cares!!
what's the best they can do?
impose a fine which may be a max of upto 1000 bucks.
anyway, who's gonna catch us????
the cyber laws here in india are pathetic.
I usually download cracks/serials/keygens for most of the demo/trial of games/softwares from the net.

He is Right. Most of guys here are using pirated copies of many software, then I guess we are ignoring what is described in EULA.
