Did you "sign" a EULA? Did you call Linus and get permission to use his kernel and then call Richard and get permission to use the GNU utils, ad nauseam... Do you need to call anyone and get permission? Of course not. The permission is implied. But you are not in any different boat than I am in Canada.

EULAs are illegal.
IF you accept the EULA as valid and binding, and IF the EULA is honored by the vendors, you would have half a point for this argument. The M$ getting paid regardless has some possible merit to the overall discussion of M$ unfair business practice, but I wont argue it on that side, either, because I dont know

They also state that if you do not agree to the eula, you should not break the seal on the package.

Especially considering that the EULA gives Microsoft the authority to tell me what I can do with my own computer, and then gives them the athority to access my computer without my authorization, which to me would be considered inconcensible.

The difference between an NDA and a EULA provision regarding modification is in the prominence of the waiver. Waiving one's right to speak is central to the NDA (and is presumably bargained- for); the waiver of fair use rights in an EULA is ancillary (and probably not bargained for). Of course, it all comes down to

Windows XP (Waht Happens When MS Stops Support)
It isn'ta matter of opinion--a requirement to activate the software can only be either present or absent--and the Microsoft EULA ain't got one. As I stated, I believe that their motive in doing this was to avoid imposing the unfair (and illegal) requirement that an end user do something not under his

In most cases the EULA is what many jurisdictions refer to as an adhesion contract. That is when the parties are not in equal bargaining positions, one party may not take unfair advantage of the other. The classic example of this is the disclaimer of liability on a baggage claim ticket. The doctrine has holes in it

XP EULA vagueness regarding activation
Put that paragraph in my EULA. Ship some disks, and charge 250000 people $15 apiece on day 1. Then on day 2 I can claim the game lacks all features and content beyond the signup program, discontinue it, and point to the line about users having no monetary interest. Then I retire to a beach in Tahiti with my $37

At present EULA is on the CD which you can't read unless you open the box and insert the CD in your PC. By that time, it would be late for you to return it to your vendor should you decide not to accept the unfair terms of EULA!!! While I agree with you, you CAN return the opened software.

That could well be what is called in legal circles "unfair bargaining power" and bargaining in bad faith. (They hid a secret feature they admit they knew would hurt some users) At the same time they have established a EULA that gave them more unfair bargaining power by voiding the license if a user chooses to

Activating XP Pro on a desktop and notebook
That's almost on a par with the logic of the OFT who have effectively stated that an unfair, illegal (under EU rules) clause in a contract is perfectly alright if the person agreeing to the contract is aware of it. Is it not the case that breach of copyright is not actually illegal and in fact is dealt as a civil
