7,500 Online Shoppers Unknowingly Sold Their Souls

A computer game retailer revealed that it legally owns the souls of thousands of online shoppers, thanks to a clause in the terms and conditions agreed to by online shoppers.

The retailer, British firm GameStation, added the "immortal soul clause" to the contract signed before making any online purchases earlier this month. It states that customers grant the company the right to claim their soul.

"By placing an order via this Web site on the first day of the fourth month of the year 2010 Anno Domini, you agree to grant Us a non transferable option to claim, for now and for ever more, your immortal soul. Should We wish to exercise this option, you agree to surrender your immortal soul, and any claim you may have on it, within 5 (five) working days of receiving written notification from gamesation.co.uk or one of its duly authorised minions."

The terms of service were updated on April Fool's Day as a gag, but the retailer did so to make a very real point: No one reads the online terms and conditions of shopping, and companies are free to insert whatever language they want into the documents.

While all shoppers during the test were given a simple tick box option to opt out, very few did this, which would have also rewarded them with a £5 voucher, according to news:lite. Due to the number of people who ticked the box, GameStation claims believes as many as 88 percent of people do not read the terms and conditions of a Web site before they make a purchase.

The company noted that it would not be enforcing the ownership rights, and planned to e-mail customers nullifying any claim on their soul.

Is it wrong to have bought someone's soul? He's an atheist so he doesn't really believe in it anyway, but I do. So, I paid him $50 to sig...

Answer (1 of 68): Wrong, no. Probably not. But here's a story to do with what you will... About nineteen years ago, in my first bloom of early adulthood, I met my best friend's cousin whilst out with her at a pub. We got to talking, as you do, and it transpired we had both seen on TV, the previo...

If the terms of the deal were him giving you a piece of paper with some writing on it, I'm afraid all you bought was that piece of paper. Sounds to me like he got the better deal.

In light of your update to the question details:
Your argument is based on Pascal's Wager and therefore shares its glaring flaws. For example, if the god that exists finds the purchase of souls abhorrent, all you may have accomplished is paying $50 to ensure the damnation of your own soul.

We need to replace our dog door - actually a rubber bit that has degenerated. Amazon has SEVEN pages of them in large size. My mind went tilt into analysis paralysis for a couple of hours.

The despeliazied trilogy is definitely closer to what I remember from the earlier VHS editions and what I saw in theater. But it's been years since I've seen the bluray dozenth special edition and even longer since I seen the older so it's hard telling.
