When you see something and it has terms and conditions do you read them?

For example when Apple asks me to read the 60-pages of crap when I update I don't... Do you?

For some sites like AG and Kong, for the rest I skim or don't, but I haven't had a problem with not reading them.

Nope, never have. I should probably get in the habit though before they start rewriting them to make me agree with things I wouldn't ever agree with.

There was a point in my life, when I was first introduced to T&C, where I was under the impression that I had to read them before I accepted them. You would not believe how long it took me to install everything I installed during that time.

It depends who is asking. If it is from the site I am on at any time I've read it word for word. Otherwise I'll just skim through it if it is short enough. I think they purposely make all the crazy terms and conditions in the middle or the end so that no one reads them. I usually get 5 pages through and just give up.

"I have read and agree with the terms and conditions". That is the biggest and most frequent lie ever. Yeah there's a reason for them, but nobody really reads then and people are highly unlikely to break them usually.

Skim through section 5. Some of those rules is broken every single day.

It depends on what it is. I don't read the terms and conditions of single player games or anything like that.

Legal, medical, and other such things I would read.

Websites are almost all the same (I've read 2-3) and same goes for general media.

Depends on the size

Short - I don't read it

Long - I don't read it

Man...I hope they don't try to sneak something into it...

I rarely read through them and if I do; it usually isn't thorough.
I have read the AG ones at least once though but not upon registration.

I'm just waiting for a site to do what South Park did with the Human Centipede XD

I can't remember the last time I ever read the Terms and Conditions, if I ever have of course. I could be agreeing to sell my soul to Newt Gingrich, but as long as I get to use my desired software he can have it! =D

I never have, never will. Most of it is probably copyright/patenting crap that no one needs to know. Besides, plagiarism is widely accepted on the internet.
