Gants concurred (agreed with the court, but on different grounds), he did not dissent. Also, he's probably wrong.

It's a tough question. We're hoping to cover it more over the weekend (or possibly on our weekly podcast).

Sorry I don't have more for you right now, I'm running out the door.

The EULA does say that you can't collect damages, and have to arbitrate confidentially in Seattle.

Makes you wonder if people who had this are free to breach the other parts of the contract now that Amazon has breached their duty? Could they reverse engineer now?
