Well, how about some positive news to end this day? How about annoying the heck out of the Business Software Alliance? There's a
new proposal for a directive on consumer rights in the EU, and in it, digital goods - software, online services, and so on - are explicitly defined as goods that are no different than any other good - like bread, watches, or cars. In other words, you would suddenly own the copies of software you buy, effectively declaring the EULA as a worthless piece of paper. Surprise -
the BSA is not happy about this.

Liability? Are you American?? This article is about Europe.
And even in the US liability doesn't tend to apply to software, that's why EULA's exist...
