Empirical proof that Terms of Service are "the biggest lie on the Internet"

Creative Commons has a pretty good approach. There’s the apparently necessary legalese, plus a plain-language translation of it. But that’s because CC didn’t write the licenses to serve and protect itself. I can envision CC or a similar nonprofit entity expanding into standardized EULAs, with the integrity of the CC brand being a consumer’s assurance that there aren’t any firstborn-child clauses.
