A computer game retailer revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of online shoppers, thanks to a clause in the terms and conditions agreed to by online shoppers.

That's actually a pretty good PR stunt. Pity it didn't get picked up a lot more as it's actually funny.

Remind me to triple check the small print on the FSO splash screen. . . .

People have been selling their souls on eBay for years, now.  I'm not particularly impressed.

[Charismatic]

Ebay does not have a soul clause does it?

Also any contract to big to be read through in 10 minutes or less should be NULL - baring national\international treaties. Any good-to-consumer like TOS should be simple. None of this tricky buiznesz.

But, LOL @ link. Im glad a video game company did it. I want to see one of these emails to customers they are sending out.

As far as I know there is a clause somewhere in most law systems that state that no contract can exceed the spirit in which it was written. So even if a TOS agreement states that the user, by agreeing, gives away their soul and their first borne son during the next full moon - they aren't allowed to enforce that part of the agreement.  It's a sort of "stupid" clause... not sure for which party it applies exactly... probably both

if only that were true.  but people get away with rediculous **** by sneaking it into such documents.  federal legislation, for example.
