How do PokerEdge, PokerProphecy etc. manage to get all the data?

The T&C say they can close your account for any reason, including having another casino's software installed on your computer if you read enough into it. You can argue the T&C all day. I think a better point is that T&C's are basically crap.

We sell software, and I'm farely confident that we could add into our T&C that "By clicking accept we will show up at your doorstep tomorrow and you must give us $10,000." 97% of customers would still accept (because they wouldn't read it).

Is this enforceable? No. A more extreme example would be "We'll come to your house and shoot you in the head". I have the feeling we would still go to jail.

T&C is just a guideline, stating you agree gives the company more leverage/better arguments in a legal situation. They are not "the law" but rather a guideline that helps them if the law gets involved. All software companies try to make their customers think the T&C is the law, but as soon as you take it to court, they become "supporting evidence".

Perhaps someone is not "brainwashed by Big Poker", but someone who is a lying shill for a spam-happy company with a crappy product.
