Eh? No, contract is another area of law entirely, and as I said you don't need to enter into a contract with Blizzard to be subject to their licence agreement - you simply have to click through their licence! (Which does not require a subscription!)

Even the Judge in Blizzard vs MDY industries quite clearly stated that if you hadn't clicked there, you were free to exercise all your rights such as reverse engineering. Your rights CHANGE the moment you click through, to take away rights you once had and to make them not only a breach of licence, but copyright infringement as well.

Consider, again, a forum click-through agreement. By the court's logic, break it and you are clearly committing a copyright offence against the site!

Incidentally - By using the Kindle's 3G or using Amazon's website, you are accepting a bunch of agreements Amazon put onto you, including to not resell any books on your Kindle. It's doesn't matter per this judgement that they were sold: you agreed to a EULA and ToS, your rights are grass, and breach is a copyright offence.
