Don't Like EULAs? Get Your Cat To Agree To Them

An anonymous reader writes "Anne Loucks built a device which, when her cat steps on it, can click the 'I Agree' button of a EULA. Who knows what the lawyers will make of this sort of madness.

Anyway, folks who hate EULAs now have another tool to make the lawyers freak out."

    GTFO

    If a minor or invalid accepts a EULA doesn't the legal responsibility fall to the legal guardian? Thus applies to pets?
