msiskin@shogun.cc.umich.edu (Marc Siskin):
	One premise that our lawyer has put forth is that a contract
	supercedes the Copyright Law.

This premise is valid, but misses the whole point of shrink-warp
license "agreements":  They are not contracts.  In the absence of
specific enabling legislation, it takes two parties make a contract.

Before you post a follow-up rebutting this, I would like my check for
$50,000 please.
