Attached Link: Uniform computer information transaction act (UCITA)
My knowledge of law is very close to zero, so I may well be wrong in the information I have and my interpretation of it. As far as I can see UCC article 2B was not adopted at the end. Instead an alternative law was proposed, the uniform computer information transactions(UCITA) . It was only been passed in 2 states so far. However, from what I understand, this isnt giving more rights or protections to the end users. It makes comercial software comapnies have an easier life.Makes very interesting reading, how the software industry managed to impose completely different rules than any other commercial branch. They seem to have all the protection and no responsibility.
As I said, I dont want to use the law in this situation anyhow. But I, and other users, should do all they can to demand a working product in a timely manner. Whether or not the software producer has the protection of the law, users should keep reminding them about their moral obligations. Taking money and not providing a working product is fraud by the laws of common sense and desency.

or from an unconscious drive. I photograph the things that I do not
wish to paint, the things which already have an
existence."
