can I get sued without accepting EULA
<p>I plan publishing information in an article about Software which is the result of people reverse engineering the software.</p>

<p>The author of the software has been attempting to sue people who made use of the information because it is <strong>against the EULA</strong>.</p>

<p>I do <strong>not</strong> have the software myself <strong>nor</strong> have I ever accepted the EULA. I am only using information I found on the internet (public websites, etc.) and write my article <strong>based on my researches</strong>.</p>

<p>My question is: Can I be sued for doing this because it is against the EULA which I never accepted?</p>

<p>The reason I am doing this is because it is a security threat for the users of the software however it needs more attention in order to be addressed by the company.</p>

<p>No. </p>

<p>You cannot be held liable for violating the EULA if you have never used the software and are only reporting what people who did use it told you. Of course, people bring groundless lawsuits all the time and you might have to defend such a lawsuit if you are sued.</p>

<p>In some places you could be subpoenaed to disclose your sources, and in others, a reporter's privilege would allow you to quash such a subpoena.</p>
