The Ugliness of Privacy Notices
Or what if I somehow hack the software such that I'm able to install it without ever hitting the 'I agree' button on the EULA screen? Do the terms of the EULA still hold the force of law? Is the fact that a EULA clearly applied to the software sufficient to make it enforceable regardless of any workarounds?
One one hand, assenting to a contract if it's the only way to actually use a program you've already purchased seems like it shouldn't be enforceable. Then again, clicking 'I agree' is like agreeing to a contract, even if it's the only way to use software.
