Well, Al, problem is that copyright is a law. What that means is that the

government

has sort of "signed the contract" for you with anyone who creates any

content. This is

why in my view copyright is illegitimate because it is really a forced

contract.
As for the terms in the software, it is gray area. Read this:

It would only be infringing on a contract if you had signed (or=

 agreed

to) that contract. =A0If the author says you can only use his software if

you agree to (sign) the contract, but you use it without agreeing to the

contract, then you aren't infringing on a contract, but you are using

his software without meeting his terms. =A0Does it matter if his terms

amount to a demand for payment, or merely that you agree to his contract?
