Many people have become accustomed to simply checking/accepting any
terms and conditions displayed, for fear of not being able to proceed.  

Infact, my GPS unit upon power up displays a warning about copyright and
using while driving which you must accept, as if you try to proceed
without accepting, it instantly powers off.

After all, have you ever seen an application which asked you to accept a
licence, and proceeded anyway if you clicked refuse?
