EULA ruling

Post by wankerjr »

Spotted this article on HardOCP.

All I have to say is it's about freaking time. I was always annoyed by the whole shrinkwrap licensing catch-22 we were stuck with. I wonder how soon game publishers are going to fall in line?
Yet another shameless plug..for something

Interesting. I wonder if this precedent will ever be applied to returns on software that is defective or fails to meet its claims.

Assuredly. Rothkin's done the work litigating against Best Buy and Microsoft. EB and EA would be pushovers by comparison. Assuming he hasn't already filed suit against them.

Of course if any of our friends in California would like to be test plaintiffs, why not buy an online game (Sony's EULA is repulsive) and give it a try?

Damn, I wish they had videogame law back when I was considering law school.
