Wouldn't the world be a little bit better if companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, and eBay made their "click to accept" 150 page "License Agreements" to read as follows:
1. This is how we intend to screw you: (blah blah)
2. We made these changes so we can screw you as follows: (blah blah)
3. If you realize you have been screwed, there's really not much you can do except give us exclusive ownership of all the data we've been collecting on you during that time, and, go screw yourself.
4. If there is a dispute regarding the kind and quality of the screwing you have heretofore agreed to accept from us, in perpetuity, as part of this agreement, which you have read, and completely understand, during the 30 seconds we've given you to read it, then you agree to accept arbitration, at your expense, in a venue of our choice, somewhere in Outer Mongolia, whereupon you will be screwed by an army of our lawyers, at your expense, for our pleasure.
5. Thank you for enjoying our "service." May it be long, pleasurable, and prosperous - for us...

It would make things much easier to understand.
