What me? read a EULA? Unfortunately I'm not that wierd, at least in that 
respect I am like
other people: I mumble "Yeah, whatever" and hit the ACCEPT button.

And I do know that ignorance is not a defence.

The funny thing is that when I buy CDs and DVDs containing software I am 
not required to sign EULAs,
it is only when I try to install software from those media that I am 
given the opportunity to read
the EULA.

Sell me a car, and then tell me I cannot keep goats in the back seat! 
Something not quite right there.
