You have an extremely one-sided view.  There is no reason to assume that 
everything a EULA demands is legal. You may end up in an expensive 
lawsuit if you break it, but it's a mix bag who will win.  For example, 
if someone sells you a product and demands that you can't resell it, 
that demand is not legal:

If they say you can't reverse engineer it, that's still up in the air:

although the DCMA would apply to some software and change things in 
countries that support it.
