Subject: GOOD: A legal fix for software flaws?

This is an entire crap. Everyone knows that a contract cannot override 
the law. If the law tells that the manufacturer of a product should be 
liable for its product's failures, then the manufacturer will be, 
regardless of any stupid contract the manufacturer and the consumer 
sign. I cannot, for example, sign a contract which gives me the right to 
kill you, because the contract is overriding the law.

EULAs are illegal. And the judges know it more than us. This is only a 
matter of economic power, "Abuse of Economic Power" as Brazilian lawyers 
say.
