MS security patch EULA gives Billg admin privileges on your box, By Thomas C Greene in Washington, Posted: 06/30/2002 at
01:05 EST
If you caught our recent coverage of the Windows Media Player trio of security holes you may have followed a link to the TechNet download site for a patch, or you might have
activated Windows Update. If you did the former (though, oddly, not if you did the latter), you would have been confronted with an End User License Agreement (EULA)
stating, most ominously, that:
"You agree that in order to protect the integrity of content and software protected by digital rights management ('Secure
Content'), Microsoft may provide security related updates to the OS Components that will be automatically downloaded onto
your computer. These security related updates may disable your ability to copy and/or play Secure Content and use
other software on your computer. If we provide such a security update, we will use reasonable efforts to post notices on a web site explaining the update."
