Firewalls, Proxies, Routers (none / 0) (#3)

"device to intercept or access communications"

Perhaps my interpretation is a bit more liberal, but firewalls, proxy servers, and routers fit this description. They are all "devices" that "intercept" communications to determine if data should flow and if so how it is to be routed. All network devices "access" the communications; even the lowly free-after-rebate hub/switch/router. Are ISPs in default violation if their users have Claria software installed?

Assuming Claria has more equipment than a single system direct-connected to the internet, they are violating their own EULA!
