    Bulldogs and Baff1, whether or not you can make multiple copies of the game from on DVD purchase depends on what the explicit and implicit terms of the retail sale are and not, as Baff1 has indicated quite clearly, what the EULA says. One could argue that it is implicit that the sale is for the household, not for one computer or xbox etc. I'm sorry but Bulldogs you dont seem too clear on Australian law nor does your friend. You dont 'major' in copyright at any Aus law school ive heard of. Also its usually called intellectual property. Secondly you should have atleast done the basics of intellectual property in some sort of commercial law subject. Thirdly why would the ATO (Aus Tax Office) fine someone for copyright infringement? They (unsurprisingly!) deal with tax matters, criminal copyright infringement would be a matter for the federal police. Finally if you were in any sort of law at all you should have done first year contract law and realised a EULA fails for a lack of consideration. T hat even if it didnt you would have a number of consumer protection laws to fall back on to modifiy its harsh terms or exempt you from it. As a postscript I will add that we in Aus do indeed have a variety of consumer protection laws and unfair contract term laws as well as cheap do it yourself (no lawyer needed) small claims tribunals.
