EULA bollocks[ Parent | Reply to This ] (none / 0) (#71)

So, they put an EULA on paper. Easy peasy. This woman's story sounds like a load of old bollocks to me. Buy an OS and then return it after reading the EULA? Come on. Get a grip. So what did she want to do, change to Linux after reading the EULA? While it is a completely valid point to put the EULA on paper in the packaging before opening the software package seal, this particular story sounds like a stunt to me. A legal stunt. Oh hang on, this is the USA, where legal stunts are the normal way of life.

It's easy top dismiss someting through supposition. In this case, however, the facts speak for themselves. Regardless of your beliefs in the American legal system (and I will agree that it has its flaws) and how its used, this case was based soley on the fact that a person can be entered into a legal contract without first being able to read it. It strikes me as an important precedent which protects the interests of consumers rather than the corporation. Get a grip indeed. In what way does this seem like a stunt. I didn't see any mention of monetary compensation. What clandestine motivation do you think was behind this legal action? I will steer clear of digs at the UK, as it seems childish and pointless.
