The whole EULA thing should be challenged in court soon as well. Forcing you to agree to such things ,after purchase, but before you can use the software liscence you purchased, in essence, is not a valid method of signing/enforcing a contract. It very simply is placing the user under duress, and as such, any EULA agreement has no way that it will be upheld in court.
It's just a matter of throwing it before the courts, and paying the fees to have it be so. No big deal...

While I agree about the EULA as the law stands NOW we are screwed. Most companies will provide you with a EULA before purchase if requested. So when it does go to court its gonna be a HARD sell its not an agreement.
