Blizzard vs BnetD Lawsuit Decision

A little off-topic but having discussed the implications of Fair Use rights vs EULA on various boards, this item is interesting. Bluesnews is reporting on a decision that has been handed down in a Blizzard vs BnetD (makers of an alternative Battle.net service) suit that seems to set a precedent on EULAs:
According to the interpretation of this: "A clickthrough EULA isn't unconscionable (and thus enforceable); Fair Use rights can be waived in a EULA; First Sale rights (!) can be waived in a EULA; The DMCA's interoperability provisions are not a defense." Both the /. article and the EFF article have further opinions on what this means going forward, and word is the EFF is planning an appeal.
