So the public, who usually can't afford the big lawyers, somehow have greater protection than the businesses who can afford the big lawyers? So you're saying that in two centuries of contract law that businesses have made no grounds in protecting themselves and that somehow contracts with individuals fall under a whole different set of laws than a contract with a business? Yes, the two are different types of contracts, but they are under the same general contract laws. Contract law doesn't discriminate by granting rights to one group and not to another. The only difference between the two is the making of money from the contract.And just as contract law protects civilians, it will also protect the businesses. What you're pointing out would easily be identified as extortion in a civil suit and there are laws against extortion in both civil and in criminal court. The law identifies the rights of the licensee not to be extorted. The changes that are allowed under the statement in question are clearly spelled out in contract law. I wish I could prove it to you, but it would take far more research time than I care to invest in a random post on a random internet forum for no more purpose than informing a few individuals.</blockquote>
