Interesting article. About ten years ago I stumbled into some IRC channels where people were trading credit card numbers, sharing information about how they operate, etc. For curiosity's sake, I hung around and chatted there for a couple of months. It was fascinating, but I was very surprised at how freely thieves were speaking / showing themselves online. It looks like little has changed.

I don't remember the wording but the strange thing was that people believed that such a notice would just work and they could freely discuss everything.

While EULAs are on shaky legal ground, they do at least give you some form of protection that a good lawyer can use to invalidate a case on technical grounds.
