Terms And Agreements And Other Bullshit

So I'm downloading the "Ohio.com" free app this weekend, which is the 'official' app of the Akron Beacon Journal, an essentially worthless newspaper here in Akron, Ohio, but that's an entirely different rant, so back to my story. Lately, I've been glancing over the "Terms and Agreements" of things I'm clicking on. Most of it, is incomprehensible dribble that only a lawyer can decipher. Some of it is fairly clear. All of it is ridiculous bullshit.

Anyhow, I've never been asked to agree to "Terms and Agreements" when launching an app for the first time, so I was quite surprised by this one popping up for Ohio.com. And upon a quick scan of the first page or so (there were about 45 pages of this, for an app to read news stories), I noticed a very odd thing, specifically this:

"You understand and agree that the right to use  News app is granted soley to you. You may not allow others to use News on Your iPhone (or other device)."

Now, I'm no lawyer, but I'm pretty sure they are telling me that I cannot let anyone look at a News App story on my iPhone while running their app. Right? Or am I reading this wrong? That's how I read it, and so, I've come to the following decision—anytime I am around other people I will open this app and ask them to read a news story on my iPhone using the Ohio.com News app.

Take that assholes!
