If, as most slashdotters seem to agree, the MS EULA
is unenforceable (how can you agree to something
post-facto?), has there been (or should there be)
any serious discussion to determine the
legal worthiness of this agreement? I mean, what
would it take to:
- Disregard the EULA in some important way
- Force MS to take it to court
- Get the EFF (or some organization with a large
amount of legal help to represent the offender.
- Test the legality of the EULA
Yes, it would be time- and cost-intensive, but
I'd think it would create a great deal of
(negative) publicity towards the EULA and MS's
tactics.
