AOL Eavesdrops, Grants Itself Permission To Steal Your AIM Conversations

It is a strange world eh? Most people dont read the Terms Of Service agreement when they install software.

That leaves the door open for software companies to slip something like this in place, and you will never know that your private conversations can be actively monitored, and the content used anywhere the software company chooses.
