> Companies have to operate within the parameters of the law.

This does not seem to apply in the context where companies are lobbying for / supporting new laws.




I don't see anything in the bill that would allow a company to actually break their EULA with you.


For the millionth time, an EULA is not a contract. A business can try to force a contract of adhesion on you (that is, a contract you do not have the opportunity to negotiate, but until the elements of a contract are satisfied, it's just one party blowing hot air at the other.

Even if there was a contract involved, clauses of the contract can be judged to be unconscionable if they are obviously trying to take advantage of the other party in an unusual or misleading way, or if they try to extend the scope of the contract.


You're going to be really depressed when you find out EULAs are contracts.
