Is it just me or did anyone else have a hard time with this? Seems they
don't want to take responsability for anything. they make it sound like
if someone hacks there srevers or steals my data from them it is my
fault/responsability. I am the only one respondable for maintaining the
confidentiality of my username and password? The ONLY one?

Their lawyers wrote that stuff to protect them. If something really bad
happens they may have a hard time defending themselves no matter what the
legal BS says.

That is just the result of our litigious society. They need to keep
their staff lawyers busy to try to prevent other lawyers from enriching
themselves.

Unfortunately most/all contracts read the same. Companies have to worry
more about liability than anything else.

Problem is, and I speak as a former ISP tech support person, many customers
will do really stupid stuff with their passwords. People didn't get that
they had to be responsible - "I don't have anything that needs to be
protected"... yeah right. Besides, it's not just you you're protecting by
being responsible, it's the service provider... for example, weak passwords
are much easier for an intruder to guess/
