I'm surprised they can even get away with shit like that.

Jees!! I had a quick look at those terms and it seems that they can ring you, use your pc, and you have to pay the charges!
quote:...[Y]ou expressly permit and authorize Juno to initiate a telephone connection from your computer to Juno's central computers using a dial-in telephone number you have previously selected for accessing the Service ... you agree that, as between you and Juno, you shall be responsible for any costs and expenses (including without limitation any applicable telephone charges) resulting from the foregoing ...

You hear that sound? That's the sound of Juno's impending financial collapse.

Such as? They can put anything in their contract they please. If you sign it, you're bound by it.

Speaking of which, did you read your Flare user agreement, Omega? I promised Charles I would wait, but I'm going to need those firstborn pretty soon.

I think it's rather finished, if you ask me. It may or may not be here. Oh, sure, I suppose it could always stand to be updated. More injokes, more pie charts, more love.

Plus (and I know this is crazy talk), it could be put in a place where new people might actually find it.

Holy shit! I DO use Juno, and I just received their new license agreement. Not only is the above quote correct, but also in this agreement that no subscriber will probably bother to read when they get it, Juno also wants to upload an ad-filled screensaver to your computer, and as part of the agreement, they want you to continuously run your computer 24-7 with the screensaver on! Failure to do this will inevitably terminate your account.
They don't have to worry about me, though. I will be terminating my account with them on my own.
