Relevant section of the EULA: Blizzard may change, modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the Game at any time. Put that paragraph in my EULA.

At least the publisher spells out his intentions in the EULA, and the user can opt to not use the software if those restrictions are disagreeable. after the software is purchased, making it difficult to recover the money spent, then I agree that the contract has little meaning, and is inherently unfair.

If every "unfair" contract could be considered void most of the US economy would cease to function.

"If you stick to the rules" And if you don't, you're making an unfair comparison. Not that I'd run WinXP most of the time even if I got it free - couple of programs perhaps (if I got them free too), maybe write the occasional program for people who won't switch. Richard.

I'm not a lawyer, but this smacks of restraint of trade or unfair competition at least.

Unfair suspension
I somehow think the debate will rage on, nevertheless. ;-} In the meantime, I regard observing the EULA as a simple matter of integrity. when trying to sue and penalize Microsoft for alleged monopolistic practices, never once raised the issue of a purportedly unfair or unenforceable licensing practice.

Therefore it would not be unfair for the owner of the copyrighted product to restrict the transfer of the licence. As the customer was aware of the restriction before entering into the contract then this would not be an unfair contract term.

The NCC looked at 25 software packages and said that in 17 instances, the packaging did not tell potential buyers they would have to sign an EULA in order After examining the contents of the EULAs, the NCC also said that some contained potentially unfair clauses. It'll be interesting to see the outcome of this.

Often the package have a "seal" that if you break that, you accept the EULA. If you must break that seal in order to read the EULA, it is not valid. It is stricktly prohibited engaging such agreements, as it's an unfair contrakt, thus it's an illegal contract. Besides (if i remember this right), in Norway you can
