    I had to for work once. It makes your eyes hurt, and if you manage to get to the end, it actually makes your brain hurt. After that, I nearly felt the urge to hurt other people, namely the manufacturer and the lawyer who set it all up...

    Stick to open source software. Still a lot to read, but the instinct to hurt others is less pronounced :0)

    I used to in my early internet days, because everyone was really paranoid back then. These days? Things are probably worse, but everyone seems to be more relaxed...

    Anyone who writes huge terms and conditions doesn't want you to read them, and so doesn't care if you stick to them.
