Nobody said anything about breaking laws.

EULAs are technically legally binding contracts, and breaking them leaves you liable in civil court.



I'm not a lawyer (so correct me if I'm wrong) but here in Poland there is a law that allows you to reverse engineer a product that you bought to make it work on your hardware (e.g. you bought a windows only program but want to make it work under Linux) So I I buy a book that can't be viewed on device of my choosing (e.g. because of DRM) then I'm free to do whatever I want to the product to make it work on my hardware. No EULA can be above the state law.


In the UK at least, there are a variety of reasons why a contract, or at least part of it, may be unenforceable - such as unfair/unreasonable terms, things that contradict the law, or the particular terms were considered "hidden" (e.g. too small a font size, or an important clause is buried in page 27 of an unrelated section).


Point is, EULA can't even restrict you for civil cases if it contradicts your rights. But that can vary from country to country.


And also state to state, which is why I said pending a Judge doesn't throw it out.
