VIKTOR SCHRECK: Once we have established the precedent that not complying with an End user License Agreement is a violation fo Federal Law, the next step is to ensure that civil charges as well as criminal charges can be filed against the offending customer.
VIKTOR SCHRECK: To do this, we would further modify the EULA to include the phrase “user agrees that violation of any of the terms of this Agreement will cause the company substantive material damages.”
