On another list I am having a discussion with someone
who talks about "software consumer contracts" (by which
I believe they are referring to shrinkwrap and clickwrap).
 
I know discussions here in the past have pointed out the
legal flaws in considering these to be contracts.  One of
which has to do with -- IIRC -- there is no negotiation
between the parties.  Another has to do with "first sale"
superceeding the so-called license agreements printed
on the box.
 
Can anybody point me to either actual case law
or legal statute that shows where "software consumer
contracts" do not actually exist?
