What TOS rule is this you refer to? Do you actually mean Terms of Service? I thought this is not applicable to purchased content.
Perhaps you mean EULA? Still, I am not aware that EULA for content must be enforced by content installers that require a click. Is this a government/legal rule you refer to?
Particularly for content purchased in an online store, at checkout time, is clicking on the "I agree to the EULA" during purchase not sufficient?
Does this mean other vendors who do simply include a copyright notice and a license agreement in the zip file are actually not protected?
You are correct, I meant EULA. Apologies.
What other vendors do is their business and i have no opinion on their delivery methods.
Installers are simply our preferred method and we are within our rights to use the method we prefer. We have heard the request to do simple zip files and as I have already stated... and with all due respect... that is just not a direction we wish to go in. I would be happy to listen to any other ideas.
