| Spedfrom said: It's not much of a DOWNLOADABLE content (DLC) if it's already on the disc is it? Also, what license am I paying for? Do I sign a contract when I buy a game? No. So the disc and its contents are mine. If something on it is not mine, my rights are being abused. Let's just wait until someone sues. I predict in the future, even if the DLC is available on launch day, it will be strictly forbidden to have it on disc. As it should be. |
It's called shrink-wrap licensing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_license_agreement

The customers sued for deceptive trade practices and breach of warranty and contract, arguing, among other things, that the arbitration clause was a material alteration of the contract and therefore invalid under UCC § 2-207, unconscionable under UCC § 2-302 and an unenforceable contract of adhesion. The court rejected these arguments, concluding, as in ProCD, that the parties' contract was not formed when the order was placed but at the later date after the plaintiffs retained the merchandise beyond the 30 days specified in the Agreement, within which time the consumer has presumably read the agreement. The court did find, however, that the agreement's designation of certain arbitration specific procedures was not enforceable as the expense and inconvenience of that portion of the agreement would deter the consumer from seeking relief.
In otherwords, you don't have to sign a contract to enter into a legal agreement in terms of EULA. If you choose to not fully read the EULA, that's your choice, and risk.
All that said, great ava pic, awesome game =) wish I didn't give mine away to my cousins -.-
