I'm more intrigued as to what they'd say if you refused to sign it...

My College[1] recently asked me to sign their Student Acceptable Use
Policy (AUP).
We have been logging on whilst seeing a few obvious things that we
agree not to do if we click 'yes' for ages, but this year they have
realised that you can't prove someone accepts an agreement by
clicking a button so they have produced paper copies for us to sign.
In line with what I said in 'Why DFEY[2]' I find some of the things
in the AUP quite far reaching, unnecessary, and ultimately
unexplainable.
I wonder if we could take a look at what I've been asked to sign,
work out where the cracks are and then send my principal a pretty email.
