Why don't they replace the 5 pages of bs with a single line

"You are selling your soul"

[x] I understand and agree

Sad thing is, most people on this planet would happily sell their souls for a dozen more hours of meaningless entertainment.

I would sell my soul for the good will of the whole planet, and for a powerful council without corruption that should ban all the crimes, violence and wars from the mankind's life.

At the risk of sounding callous, I wouldnt. Strife is what keeps us advancing as a species, if you get rid of any kind of hardship people grow weak and incapable of taking care of themselves.

Well basically the Electronic Arts though they are so cash right now that they started believing that the world is just a monopoly game (which it is for them) and bought get out of jail card. Soon the world will be ruled by untouchable corporations selling replicants and staging bloody gang fights in the slums for the entertainment of the rich while harvesting the organs of clones. The UN can'€™t say a thing about human augmentation, and Skynet is battling Judge Dredd in Neo Tokyo. Carl Marx foretold it all

Hm, it's already like this! Just with no clones and no Judge Dredd. And Skynet, well.. just wait and see!

That said, in a culture where you just mindlessly click yes to everything that's put in front of you, society is just asking for this sort of dick move to happen.

Legalese isn't english, deliberately complicated terms and conditions are difficult to read. Or you going to run to lawyer every time you'll be prompted to press "I agree" button? Just open your pockets for newspeak translators.

I could write on a bit of paper that if I break your kneecaps with a hammer you cannot claim criminal damages and get you to sign it, that's not going to stop you claiming if I then assault you with a hammer, since the terms were not legal...especially not if you were forced into signing.

Stuff like EULAs and TOS agreements are meant to scare you away from doing stuff they don't want you to do, like suing, reverse engineering etc. It is not inherently a legitimate legal document. For instance, there is no general court ruling on the validity of EULAs.

EA's contract itself even says:
"This provision applies to all consumers to the fullest extent allowable by law"

Pretty much saying, "hey this probably isn't legal, but by golly, gosh if it is we will enforce it" If it isn't legal, it can't be enforced. That's why that TOS doesn't apply to the EU, because it is explicitly against EU law...I'm pretty sure.
