to you.
You have an extremely one-sided view. There is no reason to assume that
everything a EULA demands is legal. You may end up in an expensive
lawsuit if you break it, but it's a mix bag who will win. For example,
if someone sells you a product and demands that you can't resell it,
that demand is not legal:

If they say you can't reverse engineer it, that's still up in the air:

although the DCMA would apply to some software and change things in
countries that support it.
