Windows 10 can automatically disable software and hardware … – Techzilla.it

Perhaps’re probably reading this article about the new Microsoft Windows 10 that entered the market a few weeks ago for consumers and probably during installation have not been paying too much attention to the contract of use EULA (End User License Agreement) that was shown before the installation.

That’s right, just that enormous and lengthy document that we must accept for strength before you can install and that apparently would hide a very particular terms of use, which would allow Windows to disable software and hardware deemed illegal in automatically . This means that the new system will be able to fathom our system and see if there is not original as installed software applications or games illegally downloaded and to remove it.

The clause in question is the 7b for European territory and under “Updates to services and software” we can read:

Sometimes you need to update software to continue to use the services. We may automatically check the version of your installed software and unload automatically updates or new configurations, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, start pirated games or using unauthorized hardware devices. You will also be invited to update the software to maintain these services.

At the moment there are no reports for automatic removal of software The problem may also occur if there is no pirated software installed on the computer, in fact, this clause also extends hardware although signs are extremely vague about and it is unclear what is meant by hardware “unauthorized”.

This clause would also allow the elimination of movies downloaded illegally, just like Youtube and copyrighted content that are detected and removed automatically to protect the rights d ‘ author. Obviously there is to understand how this process might work and is already in the network who cares if Microsoft will use a system of this type may be removed involuntarily also file not necessarily illegal and thus create a damage is all ‘ user herself.

At present there were still reported cases where some users has seen locked software or hardware (illegal or not) on your PC with Windows 10 but it certainly is a clause we have to keep in mind and that could put a major brake on the piracy of Windows 10.
