This week, one of the most-commented stories on OSNews was the story about how 'Maxxus' cracked/hacked (take your pick) the Intel version of Apple's OSX once again. This sparked a lively debate over whether we should encourage Maxxus, or condemn his actions. I made myself clear from the get-go: I condemn his actions. Note: This is the Sunday Eve Column of the week.

Whilst it may be a contract you wish to abide to, what of all the people who never read it? If the EULA says that the person has to jump off of a cliff, should they be sued for not jumping, having not read the EULA?
I think contracts and EULAs are different things. A Contract you agree to long before you use the product. If Apple want to enforce EULA, you would have to sign it before you even bought the machine.
