Failure to read EULA costs Gamestation customers 5GBP, and their souls.

sometimes impossible to understand them without hiring someone from a legal profession.

No kidding. You don't think legalise is illegible to the public for that exact reason?

I personally love the guys who call it a license, not a sale. The receipt I have says differently, as does this judge. (http://topnews.us/content/27523-judge-rules-against-autodesk-software-resale-case)

99% of software ads also call it a sale too, saying "buy it now at a fine retailer near you!" So, software publishers are trying to mislead people on purpose.

When you buy any piece of software, disregarding any physical media, you are only buying a license to use the software, you do not own the software itself. Autodesk is right about that. However, selling it simply means that you are selling the license to someone else.

Legalese, that is. Not snail sex.

I wonder what the guy in the game shop would say if I returned a game saying 'I don't agree with the EULA'?
When you've already bought the thing it's a bit late to start caring about such boring rubbish.
