This Friday's Reporters' Roundtable is on a topic that vexes us all: why are end user license agreements and terms of service so long and convoluted? To get ourselves in the mood for this show, we asked CNET fan (and Academy Award winner) Richard Dreyfuss if he'd help us out by doing a dramatic read of the Apple EULA. He said yes. So, without further ado, we present to you,

Dramatic readings from the iTunes EULA by Richard Dreyfuss here.

I'm not a fan of Richard Dreyfuss, but I thought his was hilarious.

Oooh, I love a good horror story.

I’m sure William Shatner would do a better job than Dreyfuss.

[battlecry]

I agree!

I'm waiting for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to do a singing version of it.
