Re: Use Health Vault, Lose Your Rights
by pacoit on Sunday October 07, 2007 @ 03:37 PM
Just wondering if anyone knows whether software click-thru agreements have ever been tested in court? It's one thing to warn a user that certain behavior, such as criticism of the company/service, may lead to banishment from the service (not reasonable of course). But to suggest/allude such behavior is a violation of the copyright holder's rights, and subject to legal action based on those rights, seems quite a stretch. Such reasoning treats EULAs as arbitrary extensions of copyright law. I think the industry has been playing on/promoting this misconception for years.
