Click to lie

Adobe keeps wanting me to update my version of Flash. When I click to do it, it displays a long, hard-to-read agreement and wants me to click the box that says I read and understood it. Somehow, that's the box I'm not ready to click, even though I ignore these sorts of things all the time and just click through to get other software I want. What are the legal implications of this World Wide Dishonesty? Does anyone but Richard Stallman care?

  1. Recuerdo que hasta el año 1997, cuándo usaba email Eudora, todavía leía los contratos. Después, en tiempos de oro del los programas p2p , me congratulaba de marcar "acepto" tan rápido que apenas me interrumpía. Ahora, en el tiempo los plugin, ... ya no se que hacer... osea sí: "Acepto"
