Legal Validity of Software Contracts

-

- 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. -

-

- 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. -

-

- The presentation refers to statutory and case law in the United States, but - the concepts should apply to almost any jurisdiction. -

-

Slides

-

- The following are the slides I prepared for the presentation: -

- -

- Included in the OpenDocument version is the script to the presentation - (in LibreOffice, look in the "Notes" tab). -

-

- Many reader programs render stripes in the slide background of the PDF file. - This is due to - a bug - in cairo - which has been fixed in a version newer than that which I used. -
