Amazon makes changes to its Associates Agreement

[rolanni]

Doncha just gotta love a big gorilla that makes changes to its agreement which are effective February 2, 2012, and which arrives in your email inbox (so says my timestamp) at 11:58 p.m. on February 2, 2012?

Anyhow, for those who partake -- adjustments have been made to the Associates Agreement.  Do the right thing and read them.

Are they written in plain english? I forget which state it was that had a legal requirement that documents be written both in lawyerese and in plain english (Maryland?) but I thought it was one of the most sensible rules I had ever run into. I would love for them to start enforcing such a rule on EULAs and other "agreements" -- doesn't agreement suggest that both sides have read, understood, and agreed? Yeah, last minute notification of changes... almost sounds as if they didn't want anyone looking closely at them?
