A lot of things are legal, but still nasty or rude. I believe it's
reasonable to be upset and surprised by such things. Anyway, having a 10
page long contract with some fine print stating that XX reserves the right
to behave nastily or irresponsibly is rather reprehensible.

But forget all that, the more relevant issue here is - does the software
actually do all that the original poster claims? Does it snarf passwords?
Has anyone else verified that?

Cheerio,
