So I need my lawyer to read every EULA I need to accept?

The current legal system effectively requires that you need a lawyer for everything you do.

Also, just having a lawyer read it isn't sufficient. They still need to communicate to you whatever information you need to be able to avoid violating the contract/law (if that is your intent).

Indeed. Our legal bureaucracy is not built to empower the common man.

Or sign up for EulaAdvisor.com's service to translate EULA's into simple terms and recommendations, and use that to guide software usage decisions.

Yeah but who do I get to look at their EULA?

EULAs all the way down...
