If the EFF wanted to do something useful, they would find people with
standing to challenge the extremely dubious arguments behind retail
shrinkwrap licenses and push the counterargument based on traditional legal reasoning
It's funny you should say that... actually EFF is heavily involved in
this fight (it was counsel on two of the three cases listed on the page
you linked to), and I do believe we're expecting to work on a number of
key cases in this area in the next year. We generally describe this as
the fight over first sale (partly because the
fight also includes patent issues
as well as shrinkwrap licenses), but it's the same counterargument.
