From: Chris Devers Date: 20:25 on 03 May 2005 Subject: obfuscated opt-out clauses The MSDN subscription renewal form I was handed yesterday had the following delightful opt-out clause in the footer: I do not want Microsoft to send me pertinent security, product, an event information via: [ ] work address [ ] email address [ ] business phone number [ ] Microsoft Partners may contact me with information about their products, services, and events. No, it's not *technically* software, bu rather a threat about how they would like to use their software against you if you can't successfully traverse their mindfield of a mandatory registration form. And hatefulness? Yes, it has that, in spades.
