I wish this would spread more. For example currently noone submit community made patches of SimCity 4 to SimCity 4 forums, because the EULA forbid it, and Electronic Arts DID contacted forum owners about it, saying that if they allow SimCity 4 patches in their forums and sites, the EULA will get enforced and they will get sued. Even discussing making a community patch for SimCity 4 get you banned on those forums... I am very sure that if EULA were non-enforceable in the entire world, people would start patching SimCity 4 to work properly on new computers in 6 months at most.

That makes no sense, except from an overstepping-legally-and-relying-on-unsophisticated-second-party point of view. How is a forum in any way bound to the game's EULA? As a trivial point, let's say the forum is owned by a company. So EA is going to sue the company for breaking terms in the EULA of its game? How did the company become beholden to those terms in the first place?
