The Basics of EULAs

Posted by michael on Thursday January 20, 2005 @02:27AM from the read-before-you-click dept.

Garthilk writes "Blizzard recently made a bit of press when they announced that they would be actively enforcing their End User License agreement and prohibit the third party sale of game items and characters. Many people don't believe these clickthrough EULAs to be enforceable contracts. Thankfully Don Shelkey from the Corporate Finance and Technology section of the law firm Buchanan Ingersoll stops by to give us the low down. Mind you he is speaking on his own behalf and not on behalf any of his clients."

Blizzard Snobbish? by Jpunkroman · 2005-01-20 02:40 · Score: 0, Flamebait

Does anyone else see Blizzard becoming super snobbish? They first cut off the delivery of their game so that no one else can get in. (They SAY this is for server reasons...) Then they say that you can re-sell characters because it said so in the EULA? I think the anti-newbie lobbyist has finally gotten to them.
