They were selling " ebooks", not a " non-exclusive right to keep a permanent copy of the applicable Digital Content and to view, use, and display such Digital Content an unlimited number of times, solely on the Device or as authorized by X as part of the Service and solely for your personal, non-commercial use." or some-such.
So they deserve all the flak they get, if you ask me  |
With software EULAs, you actually have to agree to the terms before you are allowed to install it (although it doesn't do you a whole lot of good to decline since you usually can't return opened software, one of the major reasons I no longer buy software other than shareware that I can try before I buy). Unless e-book EULAs are presented in a similar way, instead of being buried in hard to find fine print, I fail to see how they can be enforced.
