"If signed into law in any state, UCITA will undermine consumer and privacy
protections. This proposed legislation would change the rules for purchase
and use of computer software and information products for businesses,
individuals and non-profits. And if successful, UCITA will cost software
consumers billions. In essence, the UCITA legislation validates a
"shrink-wrap" or "click-on" approach to electronic licensing, superseding
consumer protections, copyright law, and privacy protections."
"The software purchased would no longer belong to the buyer."
"UCITA would permit invasions of privacy."
"Software companies could knowingly ship defective products."
"UCITA would allow software to be disabled without notification."
"UCITA would threaten existing privileges granted under federal copyright
laws."
