prescedent
The ruling bothers me because it will likely be referenced in future in other lawsuits. Unfortantly there are going to be people who misuse the eula and will claim the I didn't know excuse, but there will also be people who honestly didn't know and made a mistake.
The lack of law on the books is probably due to the fact that these types of lawsuits have not occured before.
I liken it to the McDonalds case where McDonalds was sued because they didn't properly tell the customers that their food was bad for them. Its a common sense thing fast food is bad for you, but there are people who apparently do not have common sense.
Hopefully they will be able get laws on the books that are fair to both parties.
