Now if you were to press tab a couple of times and press space or enter on the "Agree" button, would you still be accepting the EULA?

What about if you wrote an application to scan all window elements for the text "I Agree", and any that matched would be sent the appropriate Win32 API "activate" signal.

And what about if somebody else installs that software on your machine.

How about if you wrote a wrapper around the installer that bypassed the entire EULA, beginning execution at the first real install step, were files are decompressed & installed.

Perhaps it's a long shot, but in a world where the law is what is written and not what is intended, who knows what you can get away with.
