-<h2>Legal Validity of Software Contracts</h2>
-<p>
- This is a presentation that I gave in a law-related course at the New Jersey
- Institute of Technology (NJIT) in the Spring of 2012.
-</p>
-<p>
- In the presentation, I define software contracts (a.k.a. "end-user license
- agreements", "software license agreements", or simply "licenses") and
- explain the history of software copyright law and contracts. I then examine
- the disputed legal validity of software contracts in three main areas:
- assent to terms (including "shrink wrap" and "click wrap" contracts),
- ownership of copies (the "licensed, not sold" argument), and conscionability
- and preemption.
-</p>
-<p>
- The presentation refers to statutory and case law in the United States, but
- the concepts should apply to almost any jurisdiction.
-</p>
-<h4>Slides</h4>
-<p>
- The following are the slides I prepared for the presentation:
-</p>
-<ul>
- <li><a href="software-contracts.odp">OpenDocument Format</a></li>
- <li><a href="software-contracts.pdf">Portable Document Format</a></li>
-</ul>
-<p>
- Included in the OpenDocument version is the script to the presentation
- (in LibreOffice, look in the "Notes" tab).
-</p>
-<p>
- Many reader programs render stripes in the slide background of the PDF file.
- This is due to
- <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cairo/+bug/164233">a bug</a>
- <a href="https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47706">in cairo</a>
- which has been fixed in a version newer than that which I used.
