Don't worry, I don't have installed...
Anyways, Assist 'license' is not valid under the law - and thus, this button might as well not be there.
Why do you believe it's not valid? If you want to play, you have to accept these rules. It's pretty simple. The purpose of the screenshots is to ensure that users of Assist are playing fairly, as all other people on Assist are legit and expecting others to be the same.
You mean to tell me that you believe it's OK for players to be able to load up hacks that modify assist and dismantle the leveled playing field? And we should clarify this notion that it's only for suspicious/dirty players. Rather, Assist can take screenshots of ALL players. If you install software that
informs you that it will do this, it's up to
you to decide whether you are OK with admins seeing you play the game, to ensure that you're playing fairly.
In this regard, essentially, Assist works just like any AC Client we've seen in the past. When we used AC Clients in competitions, it was connected to AA's files and loaded up AA, just like Assist does. Some of these clients were not only able to take screenshots, but were also keylogging players while on the client, a la CEVO's CMN3, and players agreed to this prior to engaging in matches while running the client/s. There were no 'legal' issues then, so why would there be legal issues now?
If you're coming from the angle about AA, itself, being copyrighted, modified by Assist, etc, then I guess I'll say that, as an American tax payer -- who, along with other American taxpayers, contributed to the development of this free game -- I'm OK with Assist keeping the game alive. I'm glad my tax dollars didn't go to complete waste and that I'm still able to play. More importantly, though, is how that angle has
nothing to do with the "I Agree" button being illegal. Consider Teamviewer (
http://www.teamviewer.com). With Teamviewer, two (or even more) people can consent to accessing the others' computers in many disparate fashions, even to the point of full control. If a
person maliciously, and without consent, accessed a person's computer with Teamviewer, this
person is breaking the law. Teamviewer, however, is not illegal. The same would apply in the case of Assist and its prerequisite agreement conditions.
