That implies "Wait for injunction. Accept it. Pay court costs and
penalties".

And explain all of that to judge and jury the second time around. Good
luck.

Except that you have to agree to the EULA that is presented as a
_contract_ _reducing_ your set of rights. Merely buying a copy does not
put you into any contractual relationship. You'll likely get into
problems "activating" your copies after a few repetitions when
registering under your own name. No idea.
Whatever. In a similar vein, merely acquiring a copy of GPLed software
does not put you into any contractual relationship.
