    A software license is different - when installing you click on a button saying “I agree”.

    I did no such thing. Maybe my cat walked on the keyboard. Maybe I skipped over it with a debugger. Or maybe I did click on the button, but it did not constitute a legal meeting of the minds because I already owned the goddamn thing and it was nothing more than a mechanical step necessary to use my property!

    Clickwrap agreements for software are no different at all. They’re just as much bullshit as this nonsense LG is trying to pull, and always have been.

      Hahahaha, I like your cat!

      Yea, I didn’t apply the same logic. Again, the complainant would have to prove you clicked agree.
