License Agreements that allow companies to spy on you

I Spy With My Little EULA., by Donna Wentworth,
Copyfight, October 14, 2005.

Wentworth reports on a particularly nasty development and links to lots more information.
The issue is a EULA (End User License Agreement) that one company is using that allows it to run a program on your computer every 15 seconds and communicate information about what you are doing on your computer to the
company.

For more information on EULAs see
A User’s Guide to EULAs
By Annalee Newitz, at the EFF site.
