    I questioned the validity of EULAs a few months ago and Jeffrey Tucker of the Mises Blog responded and got quite a bit of responses regarding the matter.

    I do not think it should be legally enforceable. As for whether or not it can be is an entirely different matter. The State's capacity for violent coercion knows no bounds; in the order of things, enforcement of EULAs are a trivial matter to them.
