Until consumers want rights we'll keep giving them away
There are many users concerned about the rights that they sign away in end user licensing agreements when installing software, but not so obsessed that they'd read the long and cryptic agreements. I'd hope that the solution to this would be to have standard, end user friendly licenses, and then only highlight the exceptions to the standard contract. It doesn't seem like that is happening, but Copyfight points out a helpful alternative, EULAlyzer, an application that scans for abusive language in these contracts.

Life hacker just discovered EULAlyser, but 6 months later than I did!
