CA Court Strikes Blow Against Hidden EULAs

Posted by timothy on from the eula-be-sorry dept.

vsprintf writes "Ed Foster's Gripelog has a story on California's ruling against some of our favorite software producers and software retailers. EULAs inside the shrinkwrap are no longer good enough. Retailers with rules against accepting returns of open software could be in for hefty fines or settlements. Finally, a break for the buyer. May this spread quickly to other states."

    No you moron, they expect you to read the package prior to opening it, SEE the reference to the EULA online. Go online and read it before opening the package..

    If you don't agree you can then bring it back and not have any issues because the package is not open.
