Agreed. As mentioned from the Blizzard v. BNETD ruling:
Quote:
In their briefs, Appellants argued that the TOU and EULA were statutorily
preempted by the Copyright Act and/or impermissibly conflicted with the fair use defense contained in the Copyright Act. However, at oral argument, Appellants conceded that the only remaining issue was whether the breach of contract claims conflicted with the interoperability exception contained in the DMCA.
I find it very hard to read the dismissal of that argument in any way other than the agreements set forth in the terms/EULA supersede other "rights."
