If you clicked "Yes" you A) installed Octoshape; B) began sending video
outbound on a port many employers crack down on; and C) agreed to fairly
Draconian EULA terms.  All without really knowing you were doing it, in
all likelihood.  If your Windows config really prevented that, lucky
you.  A lot of users, sanely or not, run Windows with permissions that
let them install software.
