Who Ignores Terms, Conditions and Policies?

    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 don't think I've ever even skimmed through one before. @_@;;
    I should really start reading them before I end up unknowingly selling my soul to Satan or something. :<
     
    I usually skim them for anything that doesn't sound like the usual mumbo-jumbo, but for the most part, I really don't pay attention to it.
     
    I never really 'read' them, I scan over them, and things that look important that I can understand I might read.

    EDIT: 600 posts for me!
     
    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 know what copyright is, and I know what every software's UELA will say after having read random bits over time.
    I do however read the terms and conditions of documents that I am to sign.
     
    Never have, I'll probably only start if not reading it gets me in trouble with the law xP
    Somehow I don't see that happening :}

    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.
     
    The only time I skim through the Terms, Conditions and Policies is when I'm signing up for some kind of MMO, and that's just to see what not to do so I don't get banned.
     
    Nope, I never read them. I think I read the one for Nintendo Wii Wi-Fi, but nothing else.
     
    I tend to do that a lot,never read terms,conditions,or policies,but I should because there very important to at times.
     
    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
     
    I don't see any sense in reading the Terms anyway since I don't feel as though I'm going to use a program with the exception of what it's supposed to be used for. So ignoring them just comes second nature to them.
     
    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.
