The click-wrap conundrum
Mark Rasch, 2005-10-24

Suppose you are setting up a website to deliver the latest software, product, or service. Before the site goes live, you go to your lawyer (of course you do, don't you?) who reviews your online privacy policy, your online security policy, and your policy regarding collecting information from or about children. Your lawyer reviews the site overall for anything that might be considered or interpreted a fraudulent or deceptive practice. Of course, if it were up to lawyers, the only content on the Internet would be in the form of disclaimers.

They're poison, and socially questionable. In spite of this, people willingly pay real money to buy boxes of them.

On the other hand, they're required to have quite vivid warnings as to the effects of the content - far less subtle than a 'poison' entry in the ingredients list.

Is this software so very different?
