Not all countries are impaired by the inflated legal power of a EULA; they are entirely void in most of Europe.



To be clear, enforceability of the EULA in the United States is murky as well.


Yeah, but installing it probably also violates anticircumvention provision of the DMCA (i.e. is criminal)

IANAL


We in the free west laugh at your DMCA


I hope that's a joke because the "free west" doesn't exist. Every country has their own disturbing rights violations.

Canada still runs religiously discriminated public schools in Ontario. Bill 101 in Quebec has been widely criticized as a violation of freedom of speech and freedom of language.

Britain has the right to remain silent, but your silence can be used against you in court. In addition, the truth isn't a defense against libel.

France has serious police abuse issues, to the point of torture in French prisons.

Germany's 202c essentially bans network penetration testing. Working with Metasploit could be a crime.

And so on and so forth...
