NY AG Sues Network Associates Over License Terms

An Anonymous Coward writes: "Excite is running an article about how New York is suing McAfee over what it considers a restriction of free speech because McAfee does not allow customers from publishing reviews without prior approval from McAfee. From the article: 'In one instance, Network Associates demanded a retraction of an unfavorable review published in the online and print magazine Network World, citing a clause on its Web site that prohibits product reviews without permission, the lawsuit alleged.'"

And that works how? First of, they're not an End User of you, you are an End User to them. Second, how do they get to see your EULA? And Third, if you email it to them and they refuse to sell to you, do you not buy the product.
