EULA (#3)

Ray Nimmer has a new blog out: http://www.ipinfoblog.com/. I first met Ray about 15 years ago at a Computer Law Association meeting. The joke was that he was constantly asked if he was "The Nimmer" (of "Nimmer on Copyrights" fame, originator of the definitive trestise on copyright law). His response was that he was "the Other Nimmer". Even then, he had already published a book on IP issues and was well known and respected in the computer law area.

In any case, in this new blog, he has an entry titled: "Shrink-wraps are enforceable contracts" in which he argues very strongly that shrinkwrap and clickwrap licenses, like the Sony EULA, are enforceable.
