Long arm of the law?
Link: Malware gets a EULA - Boing Boing. Here even the bad guys are trying to control downstream uses of their stuff. Of course, for obvious reasons, illegal activity will not be protected under any doctrine where the subject matter itself is illegal, however it is somewhat amusing that such an attempt is made. Of course, these guys have other ways to attempt to enforce the agreement and one that should not be discounted willy nilly by prospective users--especially if they are who they say they are.
Just another indicator that when it comes to the Internet, it is the wild, wild west all over again. Except the borders have expanded and the wildness appears to be coming from all directions. Wonder if they had any legal help in preparing the EULA?
