Punkbuster bij Call of Duty 2

Even een vraagje voor de juridisch specialisten. Tijdens het installeren van Call of Duty 2 wordt Punkbuster geinstalleerd. Je kunt kiezen om het niet te installeren maar dan is het spel alleen op non-punkbuster servers te spelen en die zijn er nauwelijks en zitten vol met cheaters. Dus je moet wel. Nu staat het volgende bij hun voorwaarden:

"Licensee further acknowledges and accepts that PunkBuster software may be considered invasive. Licensee understands that PunkBuster software inspects and reports information about the computer on which it is installed to other connected computers and Licensee agrees to allow PunkBuster software to inspect and report such information about the computer on which Licensee installs PunkBuster software. Licensee understands and agrees that the information that may be inspected and reported by PunkBuster software includes, but is not limited to, devices and any files residing on the hard-drive and in the memory of the computer on which PunkBuster software is installed. Further, Licensee consents to allow PunkBuster software to transfer actual screenshots taken of Licensee’s computer during the operation of PunkBuster software for possible publication. Licensee understands that the purpose and goal of PunkBuster is to ensure a cheat-free environment for all participants in online games. Licensee agrees that the invasive nature of PunkBuster software is necessary to meet this purpose and goal. Licensee agrees that any harm or lack of privacy resulting from the installation and use of PunkBuster software is not as valuable to Licensee as the potential ability to play interactive online games with the benefits afforded by using PunkBuster software."

Lijkt me niets anders dan spyware en wie verzekerd mij dat ze niets met andere "toevallig" verkregen informatie doen.
