It is in the fine print!

When it comes down to it, most of us if not all of us skip over the terms of service when we are installing new software on our computers and phones. I am guilty of doing that most of the time. There is an interesting article over at the Digital Reader website about Adobe using their Digital Editions 4 epub software to spy in users of the software.

Who's watching you?


What is even more interesting is the fact that if you had read the license agreement when you installed this software, you wouldn't have seen this disclaimer. For that you had to go to their website to read about the invasion of privacy there. So now you not only have to beware of the fine print in the TOS (terms of service), you have to worry about what is on the companies website about privacy as well.

Well, at least you know now!
