What a disclaimer

May 26th, 2008, Tomasz Rychlicki

Not so long time ago I’ve published a post titled “Enforcing EULAs“. Meanwhile, looking through the net I found such release as Ahead.Nero.v8.3.2.1.Incl.Keymaker-EMBRACE and I’ve also noticed such a statement in the .nfo file.

EMBRACE, nor its members, can be held responsible
for anything they release. If it is illegal in your
country (as it is in most), you ARE NOT ALLOWED to
use it, under any circumstances. We are in the scene
for the fun, NOT to harm software developers. Good
software deserves your respect, go buy it!

Our software is released “as is”. We are in no way
to be blamed for anything that happens to your pc if
you use this. The author here by disclaims all the
warranties related to this software, expresed or
implid, including damage to hardware/software and/or
any date from the user of this product.

Your use of this product assumes that you have read
and accepted this disclaimer.

Do I need to mention that it is really easy to aviod any legal problems just by the use of free software alternatives? More details regarding this .nfo file are available at www.nfodb.com website. Some of my post that may touch similar issues are gathered under contract law category.
