Developer turns Apple EULA in to story, 'The Man Whom Agreed'

How many times have you clicked "I agree" with a software end-user licensing agreement before reading the whole lot? Let's rephrase that: Maybe you have read any part of any EULA before agreeing into it? Has anyone, really?

"By simply clicking 'I Agree, ' we accept alternatively odd conditions that we don't have knowledge of because the very design of it's not at all intended to be read, " says London video design student Florence Meunier.

To be able to highlight that fact, Meunier printed out the specific text of an Apple company iCloud EULA and turned it in a 44-page booklet, adding an overlay that strategically blacks out almost all of the text but leaves seen certain words and letters that create a short narrative your woman calls "The Man Whom Agreed":

This is the story of any man,

who one evening was too busy

or perhaps too lazy

that they, too quickly,

clicked in I agree.

What the latter would not foresee

is that they could never again disagree.

The lesson of this particular story is

that a single shall not concede,

to something one won't read.

Of course, some people shall continue to admit to something they would not read, though Meunier hopes her creative project might at the least get some to consider the value of at the least scanning the famously tough-to-read documents before agreeing for their terms.

"The aim is always to slightly guilt the user into reading, or simply amuse and as a consequence interest them, " Meunier writes within a description of the project on her portfolio site. "Our design would have to be a more 'user-friendly' document within a print format. The goal was to design a EULA that would make an individual want to read it. "

The "Man Whom Agreed" booklet measures 4. 13 inches by 5. 83 inches. The full text preceding appears, appropriately, on a corner cover, and we trust readers will read every page preceding it ahead of getting there.
