Re: Skype with care – Microsoft is reading everything you write

["Blanchard, Michael (InfoSec)" <michael.blanchard () emc com>]

There is always a clause in ALL of those ELUA's stating that they can change at anytime, without notice usually too.  
Your only recourse is to stop using the product if you don’t like the EULA.  Sucks yes, but until a better product 
comes along that is as widely adopted, well, we're stuck....   Who's to say what Apple is doing with Facetime?

 Those folks that complain about "evil empires" are the cause of their own problems....  don’t' like a company?  Don't 
buy anything or use anything from them, EVER...  Wish it was that simple with the "evil Government" ;-)

 In any case, if Microsoft really is viewing all this stuff, and acting as a middle man to decrypt the traffic, they 
should come clean and clearly state they are doing so...  I hope  they get pulled over the flame for this if it's true 
(and I have no doubt is isn't true BTW)

As it happens, I'm currently reviewing an intriguing book ("Boilerplate") that 
addresses all kinds of issues around "agreements" and consent.  Particularly for 
those of us who joined Skype before MS bought it, and therefore "agreed" to a 
very different set of rules ...
