I am not 100% sure (our resident laywers may be able to clarify) but I do not think that a company has the right to restrict trade/commerce to any particular venue. My main issue with the EULA is not the provisions themselves (except where in direct contrast to the law), but moreso clarifying abiguities so both parties are adequately protected and have a firm understanding of where each of their interest and participation lies. Until these areas of concern are addressed, I think that the majority of users who either do not necessarily care about these concerns or who hold a strong sense of loyalty to CL will buy; yet many others will simply choose not to. It does all boil down to personal choice and there are other alternatives available. No matter how minimal, you cannot deny that adverse effects have already resulted from these policies and practices. You would think that a small company that is struggling to make a name for itself would be more attendant to the cares and concerns of their consumers. However, they, too, have the right to conduct business as they see fit; even to their own detriment.
