Personally, I can&#8217;t say that I ever have. So exactly what terms have I accepted? For example Spotify, one of the leading applications for music entertainment, has recently came under fire with their updated EULA which includes, but is\u00a0not limited to, the rights to track consumers&#8217; movements, photos, contacts, and locations (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/thomasbrewster\/2015\/08\/20\/spotify-creepy-privacy-policy\/\" target=\"_blank\">Forbes, 2015<\/a>). Seems a bit intrusive for a music app, don&#8217;t you think? However, the real questions are\u00a0how many consumers blindly accepted these conditions and how many continue to do so? Had these controversial terms and conditions not been exposed by the media, would anyone know they&#8217;re there? Probably not; let me explain:<\/p>\n<p>As some may know, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/2009\/12\/14\/4-years-later-pc-pitstop-eula-experiment-still-the-buzz\/\" target=\"_blank\">2005, PC Pitstop added a Special Consideration to their EULA<\/a>, that took over four months and 3,000 sales before being acknowledged by a consumer. The purpose of that exercise was to show the public just how infrequently EULAs are being read prior to the consumer accepting the terms. Since the article was published 2005, it has been sourced in multiple media &#038; legal outlets in hopes of keeping the public aware of the trending issue of individuals blindly accepting these license agreements.\u00a0\u00a0 Unfortunately, against our better efforts, the trend continues. <strong>In 2015, PC Pitstop decided to run their experiment again.<\/strong> The Special Consideration was added to the PC Matic EULA, which can be seen below. After\u00a0a month and a half<b>\u00a0<\/b>and<b> approximately 60,000<\/b>\u00a0downloads,<b>\u00a0<\/b>PC Matic customer, Stephen Ellerin\u00a0came forward acknowledging that he had read the Special Consideration.\u00a0 Ellerin reported he &#8220;always makes a point of reading the EULA\/Terms &amp; Conditions&#8221; for any software he installs. <strong>In recognition of Mr. Ellerin&#8217;s diligence, PC Pitstop awarded him $500 and a complimentary lifetime upgrade for his current PC Matic license.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.pcmatic.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/easter_egg.png\" alt=\"easter_egg\" width=\"506\" height=\"391\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-52300\" \/><br \/>\n<br clear=\"left\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Fortunately, PC Pitstop simply added\u00a0the Special Consideration to gain insight into how many of their current consumers read the EULA. However, like Spotify, many companies use the EULAs as a means to gather additional data on their consumer base, often times without the consumers&#8217; being aware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Does anyone really read the End-User License Agreement (EULA) before putting a check mark into the infamous &#8220;I ACCEPT&#8221;
