License Agreements (EULA) were invented for personal computer software. Nothing to do with books, and there weren’t any ebooks anyway. At the time, lawyers had trouble deciding what copying means to a computer because that’s pretty much what computers do all day.

EULA’s were just a Hail Mary where copyrights don’t apply. Copyrights do apply to books, for example instruction books that come with software.

That image is funny because anti-virus software can’t protect itself? And its maker hopes that if you click, their life gets better somehow?

TriAngel Publishers is the authors’ company. Their 2009 copyright remains in effect until long after they’re dead. So why did the readers have to sign away their rights?

The PC that opened this ebook probably no longer exists. This EULA remains in effect beyond anyone’s lifetime. That’s a bit of irony considering this book’s title, don’t you think?
