Come on, please be honest here, who doesn't even consider reading Privacy Policies, TOS and so on. I ignore them completely for a very good reason, most of the content is pure Tauros-poo and is not promised in any way, though that's for some sites. Mainly I don't is because I trust the site. Honestly, what do you do?

I don't read them if their "last updated" is old, but oftentimes I ignore new ones too.

There ARE specific clauses I look for though.

Oh, and anything that's a "legal" agreement that I have to be 18 to hit accept for (though now I can legally accept them since I AM 18 now)? I ALWAYS skip them. (So technically, I've been using the Wii Network Services illegally.)
I have too, big deal. But sometimes I get my parents to have a look just incase.

I've never seen the point since I rarely install programs that aren't already being used by thousands of people.

If you think my posts are rude then you can't handle the truth.

Like a few others, I skim them looking for specific clauses, or anything out of the ordinary, but I don't normally look too hard. Like Eon-Rider, I normally only install programs and the like that are already being used to thousands of people. If someone were throwing a fit about something in the TOS, I'd know. And usually, they only bring that stuff up when there's an update to the TOS and I've already been using the software, so it usually works out.

I usually just skim over it if it's for something new, but if I'm just joining a forum or something I just skip right over it XD;

Well, I search for some specific terms usually, and then just hit accept. XD;

Unless it's software I'm just really familiar with. MSN, AIM, Firefox, Foobar, WinAMP, mIRC, etc. That kind of thing I don't care. 8(
That is pretty much that I do. I don't think I've read the entire thing since I was young.

Remember the way I was, for me.

When installing software I might skim through the agreements a little bit, but other than that I usually just hit the accept button. I don't use too many programs that aren't widely used all over the world, so I figure there isn't much to fear.
(I really don't think I'm going to infringe upon any program's copyright or laws anymore than anyone else has!)

When I'm joining a new forum or MMO, then I most certainly read all the agreements. Even the standard one's that come with vB software... I'm always afraid I will miss something. xD

Depends on the site or program. If it's something more general like an anti-virus, I'll usually just skim through to make sure there's nothing out of the ordinary. I have decided before to read through the whole thing on a whim, though, so it really varies.

I skip them. I find it a waste of time. Honestly, it's the same thing every time. You must not steal this program, you must not host inappropriate material on your website, you must be so many years old, or if you don't read this you'll soul will be become property of DefinitelyTrustworthyCompany Incorporated.

Life is too short to read EULAs, policies, terms of services...

Not really... I suppose I should, but I just can't seem to make myself.

I do read things I know are very important, though.

Is that everything's gonna be
fine fine fine
'cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is giving a high five.
