Legal agreements was used to be a agreement between two parties where an equal agreement was reached. EULA tends to be one sided agreements where the company take away your rights.
"I gotta run it on Apple hardware (no Hackintoshes).
I can’t help anyone else do that."
Isnt help anyone else doing that taking away your legal right of free speech?
I have also seen agreements where the company says you may not publicly mention any security holes that you find in their software. Does a company have the right to take away your free speech in their license agreements? Have this been tried in the highest court?
