I think it goes one step beyond that: you're asked to accept an EULA for a software that you don't know what it does or why it needs to be installed and run... because the vendor refuses to tell you! Amazing.
- pbhjpbhj 13y agoWell, you accept [probably non-legally binding, at least I always assume that] condition for a driver for your hardware. Anything else they don't get specific permission for is a breech of the law here (UK, Computer Misuse Act) ... would love to see that prosecuted. The government should lead such a prosecution really given how important unauthorised computer use/access is to them - extraditing people for it and all.
- PeterisP 13y agoThis is a good point - if it happens to transfer private data and it didn't explicitly say in the EULA that it's going to do so, then they are violating a bunch of laws. On the other hand, if an EULA for video card drivers starts including language about transmitting your data, then you already know what it means.
