$1000 just for reading a EULA?
Proving the point that EULA's are widely ignored, PC Pitstop recently inserted a "special consideration" clause in its agreement that offered money to anyone who sent an e-mail to an address contained in the license. After 3,000 downloads and four months, one person finally took advantage of the offer and received a check in the mail for $1,000, according to the company's Web site.
It's treasure hunt time...
In reality, what you have here is Microsoft paying a mere $5 for bug reports and PC Pitstop paying $1000 for a survey to find out how frequently the EULA is actually read. In both cases, these are fairly cheap for the service they received.
