The Gohip video player represents itself as a pretty basic plug-in for your
browser.  They tout it as a "Free Video Browser Enhancement."  It is only if
you read the license agreement or download the software that you find the
true nature of the software.  The license agreement informs you the
installation will do three things as follows:

1.  Changes your default homepage to the GoHip website.
2.  Changes your default search engine to the GoHip search engine.
3.  Your signature line will be modified to promote the Free Video Update.

What the license agreement does not tell you is that it is not going to be
as simple as changing your default homepage in your browser back to what you
prefer.  The same can be said of changing your default search engine.  Most
importantly it does not mention that this is accomplished by modifying your
Windows registry and cannot be removed without modifying the registry.  The
vast majority of computer users are not capable of doing this.

When I contacted GoHip's customer service, I was informed with attitude,
"...apparently you did not read it, (the license agreement) because it
explains to you exactly what the software is and what settings on your
computer will be changed if you accept the agreement.  In the future, we
recommend that you read License Agreements, to be sure that you are getting
what you want."

As of 2/20/00 deja.com shows 171 posts to newsgroups regarding GoHip, not
one of these posts were positive.  If the administrators of this site think
they are making friends I would say they are severely disillusioned.

They are well aware that not everyone reads License Agreements, in fact they
depend on it.  IMHO this program does nothing to enhance your browser's
video as the name would imply.  It is nothing but a self-serving ploy to
increase the traffic to the GoHip website.  I urge anyone reading this to
avoid their website and downloading their software.  I have removed their
software from my machine and changed the signature line added to my correspo
ndence as you see below.
