End User License Agreements.

Okay, I realize people tend not to read license agreements. But when I see things like this in a EULA, I think "Did anyone review this?" and I realize these people have little respect for their customers:

Mozy.home's license agreement has the phrase: "Do not taunt happy fun ball." No kidding. And here's the scary part: the license also says they can modify it anytime, and will only post a notice on their website for 15 days. Moreover, they reserve the right to delete your data, and claim absolutely no liability for loss of data, etc. There's nothing about privacy, so even though data is encrypted, who knows if they don't also have the key? Bleh. Forget mozy online backups--I have no confidence in the security of putting my data on their servers.

If you want something worth having, pay for it. I think I'm going to buy Norton Ghost or SyncbackSE.
