That there would be great and all, but to a lawyer it just won't work. Now, suppose someone emailed a friend a copy of their software. You would go to press charges and they'd say "but I didn't give them a disk, there's nothing in the EULA saying anything about emailing".
And from problems like that, the average EULA grows even longer...
Has anyone tried to return software after disagreeing with the EULA?
Hmm, I should try that myself sometime - I once got an expansion pack for christmas, to a game I didn't have. Didn't realize it till I tried to install the game. Sure makes the purchase useful to me!
