Software EULAs are Killing WFH Businesses - Sounds Like a Potential Business

Just when you thought the impacts of COVID in the visualization industry were understood, it seems there is a new threat to studios - the software EULA (End User License Agreement).

Read this other article for all the details & other horror stories: https://www.cgarchitect.com/features/articles/b29a684f-how-work-from-home-and-the-software-eula-could-cost-you-thousands-in-penalties

TL;DR - If you agreed to a EULA, you could get audited from employees who installed software on their home computers with pirated software.

The Fix?
I could see a SaaS product where you copy the EULA, paste it into the program & it comes up with potential scenarios (with visuals) based on your business type.

Is there a SaaS product that already exists out there? If so, link below.

If not, anyone interested in exploring this idea with me? I'm a designer (web, UX, 3D) so I'd imagine needing someone in legal, software developer(s), and marketing.

    Hey Brian, let me know if you are still interested in exploring this idea jordangaston1994@gmail.com. I can bring solid software development skills to the table (currently employed as a SSE at a mid sized start up, previously employed as a SE at FAANG).

      Just sent you an email. Trimbox looks pretty cool. Add me in if you are still taking testers.
