Step-Saver Data Systems, Inc. v. Wise Technology - Step-Saver Data Systems, Inc. v. Wise Technology Step-Saver Data Systems, Inc. v. Wise Technology (1991) was case in which the legality and history of computer EULAs was explored. The court noted, "When these form licenses were first developed for software, it was, in large part, to avoid the federal copyright law first sale doctrine" thus the intent of EULAs after 1990 were to preempt federal statutes using contract law and that they serve no purpose besides attempts to preempt consumer rights in other statutes.

First Sale Doctrine - music) and computer software although private non-profit archives and libraries are allowed to lend these items provided thay include a copyright notice on the copy. US courts upheld doctrine of first sale in Softman v. Adobe [1] and Novell, Inc. v. CPU Distrib., Inc when applied to software even if the software contains an End User License Agreement (EULA) prohibiting resale. In this case Softman, after purchasing bundled software from Adobe, unbundled it and then resold the component programs. The courts ruled that consumers can resell bundled software, no matter what the EULA stipulates. Specifically, the ruling decreed that software purchases be treated as sales transactions, rather than explicit license agreements. In other words, consumers should have the same rights they would enjoy under existing copyright legislation when buying a CD.
