[Free-sklyarov-uk] Microsoft EULA

[iriXx]

what is also maybe worth following up is, if they are doing this through 
Win. Media Player... are they doing anything similiar through the MS XP

i never follow those things, being a MS user only when absolutely need 
be for work-related stuff... does anyone know anything further?...
