now you may argue that there are not freq enough instances of these frauds to require EULAs. anticipate that the counterargument could be that they aren't BECAUSE of the presence of EULAs
- jstanley 4y agoHow does an EULA defend against fraudsters, con artists, and hackers?
- ClumsyPilot 4y agoULAS didn't exist 50 years ago and we survives somehow! Now my phone, TV, and my floorlamp has a EULA. Industry thatsl can't function without EULA are the ones defrauding consumers, they should burn down to the ground.
- carapace 4y agoYou bought your phone, TV, and floorlamp from companies that should burn down to the ground? Is arson (metaphorical, I hope) really the best option here?
- ClumsyPilot 4y agodefinately the floorlamp one, iylt refuses to connect to the app because it's in a different country, the lamp is country-locked, its telling me what do to, and none of this was in the original contract of sale. Also arson is illegal. I am thinking more like witch-burning
- carapace 4y agoWitch-burning is, if anything, more illegal. (That lamp is messed up tho. I feel ya.)
