HeWhoWatches: "I'm not a lawyer (thank whatever powers may or may not exist for small mercies) but I think this is what's called a shrinkwrap contract, and is totally without force in most places (with California being an exception). Once you've purchased the product, it's yours. They can't dictate to you what you can and can't do with it."

When one is not a lawyer, one must be careful making blanket statements and generalizations regarding legal issues. There are young people here and people not familiar with the law that can be misled by incorrect advice that could involve them in costly litigation.

In the United States a "shrinkwrap license" is considered a contract, it is generally terms in the license that are contrary to existing state or federal laws that are unenforcable. The license DAZ uses would be more commonly called a "clickwrap license", the term derived from the requirement to "click" an "I Agree" button after reading the license which is displayed on the screen by the installation program. Such licenses have been found to be enforcable by most courts including the Seventh Circuit Court. When in doubt about your rights vs the license...it's safest to consult a lawyer.
