Ever read the small type and wonder who and what it applies to? Ever really wondered who enforces these laws and what happens if you do get caught? Me either, well sort of. In any event, most of end user license agreements are bogus, they are meant to protect the company of whatever site you visit, product you buy or service you render from being sued. This all ends now.

ReasonableAgreement.org has drafted the anti-EULA to end once and for all these bogus terms and conditions you agree to for simply purchasing something. Take a gander at this:

READ CAREFULLY. By [accepting this material|accepting this payment|accepting this business-card|viewing this t-shirt|reading this sticker] you agree, on behalf of your employer, to release me from all obligations and waivers arising from any and all NON-NEGOTIATED agreements, licenses, terms-of-service, shrinkwrap, clickwrap, browsewrap, confidentiality, non-disclosure, non-compete and acceptable use policies (”BOGUS AGREEMENTS”) that I have entered into with your employer, its partners, licensors, agents and assigns, in perpetuity, without prejudice to my ongoing rights and privileges. You further represent that you have the authority to release me from any BOGUS AGREEMENTS on behalf of your employer.

They are suggesting you put this at the bottom of all your emails, the back of your business cards, whatever you can to get the point across. The site also has bumper stickers and t-shirts for sale! Best of all, this isn’t being done for profit; all proceeds go to the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
