  Can someone sue the living shit out of them

  Nope. All in EULA.

    IANAL and could be wrong, but it is not the case that the T’s&C’s we all have to agree to aren’t necessarily legally binding, because people can’t be expected to read and understand them all.

    With that in mind, it doesn’t matter what the user agrees to if they have no practical alternative available to them.

      There’s actually no speculation on this one. There’s a fight going on led by Ross Scott of Accursed Farms against shutting down game servers when game requires always online access. Basically lawyers have checked the law in this instance and in USA terms and conditions are GOD. You accepted it and you live with it. Here’s the video. I recommend watching that section of video.

        I’m in the UK, where the law may be less mental over things like this.

    In civilized countries there is an understanding that noone is reading dozens of pages of terms of agreement, so any clause in there that is unexpected is automatically void. Expecting a software agreement to include rules not to distribute it further, break copy protection mechanisms etc. is normal so those terms are valid. But having all your data stolen is not something to be expected, hence invalid.

      Try going with that argument to court and see what happens. In USA basically anything goes, whatever is written in there. No matter how weird or against the user. There’s a reason why EU’s pushing new and shorter terms than can be glanced and read easily.

        Which is why the comment you where replying to specified

        in civilised countries

        The implication beeping that the US is not. Because in a lot of other countries surprise clauses in your T&C’s is illegal

        Whoever is downvoting this needs to have an encounter with the U.S. legal system, so they find out how little their precious freaking “rights” are worth.
