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.

You are actually given more opportunity to read, accept, or reject many EULAs than you are to read, accept, or reject laws and yes sometimes even contracts.
So there's a way to read a EULA without opening the shrink-wrapped package?
The point is moot, however, as it's not that EULAs are legally binding in the first place (and may be illegal in certain countries, such as the UK).
