At least in the UK, some of those nasty EULA terms are unenforceable. Legal advice consistently stated that the "by openning this envelope" language is, or at least was, legally null and void. Whether click through has any more legal force is not something I am competent to say.

Anything that attempts to claim your consumer rights do not apply has no legal force whatsoever in almost all countries, and it does not matter how or when you try to do it. The EU has said reverse engineering for compatability purpsoses is also a right, so attempts to disallow it might not have any legal force.

I am not a lwayer but *did* attend a seminar about the law in this area (quite a while ago).
