theyarecomingforyou Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 EULAs are a joke. Nobody reads them, making them utterly unenforceable. They exist only to give lawyers something to do. I'd rather Apple abolished them rather than sneaking in jokes. garwin 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Reminds me of that South Park episode where they didn't read the iTunes agreement. garwin, Sszecret and Dick Montage 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick H. Supervisor Posted March 27, 2015 Supervisor Share Posted March 27, 2015 To read all privacy policies you encounter, you would need to take a month off work each year. No one has time for that, so it's no wonder that Apple (and other companies, I'm sure) go and put random things in to their agreements. By doing so they're just proving how pointless such an agreement is. garwin, Draconian Guppy and The Evil Overlord 3 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123456789A Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 I've read Microsoft's, so I just stick with them. No time to read anyone else's. vcfan 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xendrome Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 So you blank out all the words you don't want to see and leave behind the ones you do to make whatever you want, and suddenly that's a "hidden message"? I'm sure you could do this and make up a bunch of other "hidden" messages also. Zoom7000 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree in that case, this suddenly became a very different - and less interesting - article. Obviously you can't create any old thing, as I doubt Apple mention every word in the English language in their T&C, but this hidden message is just a coincidence.

Dick Montage Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Nobody reads them, making them utterly unenforceable Legally - nope, it does not make them unenforceable. Not sure where you get that idea from. Found a story Created a story it's no wonder that Apple (and other companies, I'm sure) go and put random things in to their agreements They don't. These are written by a legal team who certainly understand the impact of such ideas. There is no hidden story here - someone has invented one by removing words and dramatically altering context.

FloatingFatMan Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Legally - nope, it does not make them unenforceable. Not sure where you get that idea from. Only in the US, where corporations own the courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
