More details to this question:
Do i have to read all of the rules to every bit of software i use, or for every website i use? or am i allowed to just agree and use, and deal with the risk? even for the ones that tell you that you have to agree to read their policies and stuff word for word and read it carefully? there is no law that enforces that i cannot just skip and agree is there?

You do not have an obligation to read the terms and conditions of the websites and software that you use. However, those terms and conditions/licenses may include language that you agree to them by using the website and/or software, in which case you have entered into a contract. Courts have upheld clickwrap agreements so staying ignorant of the terms of the contract you may have just entered into will not excuse you if you breach the agreement.

As a literate adult, you are bound by the terms of contracts that you agree to after having made a voluntary choice not to read them. You violate no law by refusing to read them, but you ignore these terms at your contractual peril.
