All I know is, I don't have any lawyers! I sometimes worry that I'll get arrested for a murder I didn't commit and I'll go "phone my lawyer", only I don't have one and don't even know how you'd go about getting one. I'd probably just phone my mom or something.
That's what most people do. You phone family and the family goes and hires a lawyer and then the lawyer calls you or stops by. Only the super rich have a lawyer ready to call and only so many people who have one have their number handy when being arrested.

I'm not attacking you.
"I repeat: you do BAD things." is very much a personal attack.
Confusing people is a bad thing. It's a constitution of fact. Where do you see attack? You can swim and somebody can't, he's asking can he cross the river and you say "yes" assuming he CAN swim. He dies. Who are you? Good person or bad person? Good advice vs bad advice? Etc.
Again you aren't reading the whole thread...
I said way up there
"Yeah sounds like EMC very well may have been making an expectation for us then since we spend so much with them on VMAX, Unity VSA etc."

That's what most people do.
You sound like you know quite a few people who have been wrongly arrested for murder
I say "wrongly" because if I actually murdered someone I'd probably do a bit of research on lawyers before my arrest.

Yeah, I did. I asked if you have a questions about EULA you should talk to people inside your company who will go to court if you'll screw up. Because it's THEIR job. What's wrong with that?
As I've said before we already have..
I got that. You and your special conditions are out of question, these are others who get confused with "You are reading that incorrectly. That's just definitions, not the terms. Our EMC rep already confirmed it to us." thing. As simple as that.
You keep pointing to one post I was wrong in but forgetting there has been much conversation since then....
I know one things for sure.. I will never do business with Starwinds. I've seen enough how you act in this thread.

I wasn't confusing people. I stated I was wrong yet you refuse to move on.. You are attacking. You are a company I would never do business with. You refuse to accept things as they happen. You are making your company look bad on public forms.

yeah, and later you post "You are reading that incorrectly. That's just definitions, not the terms. Our EMC rep already confirmed it to us." so is it odd vs even posts I should read / skip?
That was not later.. that was before.. Go back and read..

@Jason The thing is (I might be wrong though)
Pretty much any rep of any company works with a disclaimer, that sounds along the lines of "Any opinions expressed in this communication are not necessarily those of the company". This way you are still violating the EULA. This may not be immediately noticeable while you work with the aforementioned reps, however if you were to reach out to support and they will see what kind of license you are using, there may be trouble.
That being said, I am not sure it's the case, it just sounds like a possible course of action.THis post, and these do work. It's not the same as the disclaimers saying that if this is for the wrong recipient or forcing you to do something when you receive an email. It's saying that the email communications is not official and is meaningless. It also makes ALL sales from them worthless as well, of course.
I have never, ever seen or heard of this kind of disclaimer. Is it a US thing? I wouldn't be very impressed if I did see one - if you're not representing opinion of the company what exactly are you for?

It's usually only for companies like say dell, comcast etc having dell employees post on their forums. Never really seen it much in emails.

NO idea, but they are ridiculously common here. They are the email equivalent to those Facebook posts telling people that the poster is denying permission for companies to use their Facebook material for use. It's some joke that someone played a decade ago and now tons of companies fall for it and many demand that their employees use it. It's the most common reason that you see on Spiceworks for why people need to "force" an email signature. They are so common that I bet I see it in one out of ten companies, still, no matter how dumb it makes them look.

Just like the if you aren't the intended recipient delete the email etc. I always laugh at those..
