"AOL has posted new terms of service for AIM, that include the right for AOL to use anything and everything you send through AIM in any way they see fit, without informing you. A sample passage: '...by posting Content on an AIM Product, you grant AOL, its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries, assigns, agents and licensees the irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide right to reproduce, display, perform, distribute, adapt and promote this Content in any medium. You waive any right to privacy.'"

I AM RAGED AT THIS.

 

Inactive Status

Unless you are a subscriber to an AOL® fee-based subscription service (including, CompuServe®, AOL® or Netscape®), you must use your Screen Names on a regular basis (e.g., log into an AIM Product) to keep your Screen Names and registration active. AOL may cancel the registration and Screen Names and delete any e-mail or data any AIM Product of any registered user who does not have a current subscription or who AOL has determined in its sole discretion has not used such Screen Name for a period of ninety (90) days.

g0d']Then don't use fucking AOL OR AIM lamers.

 

 

AIM sn stealing is quite simple, and there is a large group of people who value these sns and WILL purchase them from you. As lame as AIM and AOL might be, easy money will always outweigh that. The new ToS affects the simplicity and plausibility of sn stealing, which is lame.

Oh man I guess no more sharing pr0n and mp3's through aim anymore.

I'd like to see how the RIAA and MPAA feel about this.

For some reason this smelled to me like 'We have a new filter for AIM and AOL products that flags and records all conversations that include words and phrases of our choosing (i.e. kill the president, bomb something, etc.). You now have no rights to privacy and free speach while using our products. Thank you.'

 

Time to get used to MSN messenger.

il3nT']fuck msn bitch..

llike any one of you fags are writting up plans of mass murder thru aim..

 

OMG LOL! YUO SO KEWL!

 

#1, it was a communication program pulled off the top of my head that was commonly used.

 

#2, its not a matter of us 'writing up murder plans', its a matter of privacy and principle.

 

got that? good.

They have no need to be worried, they are too stupid to do anything to get caught for anyways. The new ToS only affects people who are doing things that could be risky to discuss through the service. Before this ToS change, the ToS semi-protected you in aspects of prosecution utilizing conversations and information transmitted through AIM/AOL. Now you dont. It's not a matter of me afrad because I am doing things I could get in trouble for, its a matter of principle to me, as i've said.

il3nT']ok conversation done then..opnion over opnion stalemate it is :D

 

This is called a Mexican Stand-off, not opinion stalemate. Fag.

lol you guys use msn/aim to share mp3's and shit? wtf?

v0.401 is the best, since it skips hashing and shit. Shouldn't be hard to find.

 

Direct Connect sucks huge fucking ass, it's the worst thing to happen to the internet since AIM. Go get a real man's FS client, like ed2k. Also who uses aim anyways, IRC and ICQ are the de-facto for online chat.

im going to sign up for AIM and threaten everybody and everything in america and see what those fuck rabbits will do. i've read the important american paper
Also who uses aim anyways, IRC and ICQ are the de-facto for online chat.

 

hot college sluts, duuuuuh.

and the point of that is?

 

that is to protect children from their parents and such. AIM encryption wont protect you from AOL. dumbass.

 

Did you even read any of that site? Do you have any clue how basic encryption works? Apparently not, since you think encryption is to protect children from their parents. You're the dumbass.

 

Sure, AOL can snatch copies of your encrypted conversation as it passes through their servers, but do you really think they'll devote the resources required to decrypt (in real time) your conversations, then pass the decrypted text through a parsing algorithm that searches for phrases? I think not.

 

With a security certificate installed, you have the lock icon next to your name. (for extra style points)
