draevil writes "The BBC has the news that Britain's National Consumer Council has completed an investigation into the practice of software End User License Agreements(EULAs) with the conclusion that many consumers are signing away their legal rights and agreeing to unfair terms which they could never have scrutinised before purchase.
Their report also acknowledges that even if the EULA were available prior to purchase it would be unreasonable to expect an average consumer to understand the terms to which they were agreeing. The full report can be found here and a summary is provided here.
While many Slashdotters will be familiar with the issues raised, it's always good to hear that some action is being taken."
