Reading licenses

[remed]

Hi.
There is a lot of games and programes and so on on the computer, and, I guess, almost all of them has license. For example, if I buy or download a game, while intsalling it, often a square in which you should put a tick, to confrim, I have read the license and I agree with them. Or, while opening a simple program (for example: paint) , there is a lobe called “Help” . While I click on it, I can see help about program, or see the program’s license.
So, my question is: Is it necessary to read the license, before you can start to use the game program or something else, or, if I’m planning not to do anything bad, I can use it?

Thanks!

Proprietary software licenses all contain basically the same baseline agreement: thou shall not steal. As long as you are consenting to the license I can’t see how it is a sin not to read it.

With that said, you really should read it, and this is why: some software companies steal from YOU, namely, your personal information. Be very wary about what sort of information gathering you are consenting to by ticking that box.

Thanks. But still, in some of them, there is writing: “I have read and agree with the terms of agreement” or something like that. If I didn’t read it, but still I am ticking the box, doesn’t that means, that I’m lying?

You’re making a representation to a computer program that you have read the agreement. Does a computer program have the right to know the truth (one of the elements of a lie?) No.

It simply means you are stupid not to read it. If negative consequences arise from you not having read it then its your own fault and you have no grounds for complaints!!

My kids always love it when we read to them at bed time. We decided that the deal was, we would only read to them if they promised to read to themselves as well. So we read them each one book and then they read a book to themselves every night at bed time. It works great - they both started enjoying the time to themselves to read a book that we’d read to them several times!​

Not reading these agreements is not a sin but its pretty stupid. Anyone who does not read these papers has no right to complain later if there are consequences!
