I'll happily agree to sign away my first-born. First because you can't sign away what you don't have, and second because such a clause would be void where I live (Germany). Yay customer protection laws!

Basically, if the EULA contradicts most users' expectations, it doesn't hold up in court. A recent example for this was WhatsApp getting into trouble after banning users who used unofficial clients. The courts ruled that a ban was not something users would expect because other comparable services have no such clause and that while WhatsApp was allowed to detect and block the use of third-party apps, they couldn't punish the users themselves.
