EULA's aren't really legally binding if they violate the rights of the user in some way or allow for those rights to be violated.

And where in the EULA does it say anything about
modifying your drivers, kernel, core windows system and killing your machines cd drives or breaking it completely.

Sony are definetely not in the clear this software is plainly and obviously in breach of SEVERAL sections of the Computer Misuse Act of 1990
