I agree. I cannot be legally bound to something sent to me without my
express agreement to the conditions up front and in writing BEFORE I get
the item. Any company that really sends out such material without a
prior agreement is pretty stupid. Not to mention rather powerless.

These statements are usually just parroted by the guys in IT because
they saw it somewhere else. A virus of sorts.
