Do you know what a EULA is?
Your only real rights in this matter are the ones that the software company says you have. |
Software companies are not law making bodies. EULAs frequently force customers to agree to things that would be unenforceable under law if anybody put up a serious challenge. The only reason they get away with that crap is because they are organized and we are not and they have a F*CK of a lot more money to spend on lawyers than any individual or small group of consumers.
The DMCA was passed, essentially raping centuries of statutary and common law copyright precedent, because Disney was afraid of losing the copyright on Mickey Mouse and threw a huge pot of money at the legislators to get the law rewritten their way - and the idiot consumers, in their complacency, failed to see the problem until the law had been passed.
Wouild you purchase a car if the warranty read like the typical software EULA? I think not. Would you purchase a car if you couldn't have a spare set of keys? Again, I think not.
Again, IT IS OUR COMPLACENCY THAT ALLOWS THE SOFTWARE COMPANIES TO GET AWAY WITH ABUSIVE PRACTICES.
The software companies DO NOT DICTATE OUR RIGHTS, unless we allow them to. CONGRESS is the only body that can say what our rights are, not some commercial, profit above all company -UNLESS
WE DO NOT STAND UP FOR OURSELVES.
