The Agreeable Cat
February 20th, 2009 by ComputerBob
I haven’t looked over everyone in the world’s shoulders to know for sure that it’s true, but I assume that most people, when faced with a software EULA (end user license agreement), simply click on “OK” without ever reading the legal mumbo-jumbo to which they are agreeing.
I’m not an attorney, and I don’t even play one on TV, but it seems to me that whenever someone does that, they are probably legally accountable for whatever they have intentionally agreed to, whether or not they understand any of it.
One user has developed a creative way to use EULA-based software without ever (technically) agreeing to the EULA — with some help from her cat.
Does that mean that her cat is the only one who has a egal right to use the software?
