Comment Section 8: Repercussions? (Score 1) 703
This idea just came to me, take a look at this:
Article 8. UPDATES TO THE LICENSED MATERIALS
The SONY BMG PARTIES may from time to time provide you with updates of the SOFTWARE in a manner that the SONY BMG PARTIES deem to be appropriate. All such updates shall be deemed to be part of the SOFTWARE for all purposes hereunder. In the event that you fail to install an update, the SONY BMG PARTIES reserve the right to terminate the term of this EULA, along with your rights to use the LICENSED MATERIALS, immediately, without additional notice to you. The SONY BMG PARTIES shall not be liable for any loss or damage caused by reason of your failure to install any such update or your failure to do so in the manner instructed.
It basically says: update or die (well, not quite...)
So... if you FAIL to send back the CD and uninstall the XCP software (as much of an 'update' if I ever saw one, especially if XCP is ruled illegal), are you breaking the EULA? and if so, are you going to be in legal trouble?
