The awesome guys at Rock Paper Shotgun sent a lovely little email to EA about WTF'ry that was contained in the EULA for EA's upcoming Origin system. Whilst they never responded, their friends at Giant Bomb found that the EULA (which is available online) had been changed to something a little less frightening.

Information about our customers is an important part of our business, and EA would never sell your personally identifiable information to anyone, nor would it ever use spyware or install spyware on users’ machines.”
