Consumers Union, the nonprofit publisher of Consumer Reports magazine, asks you to reject
the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act (UCITA) ..,
* UCITA interferes in a wholesale way with all other applicable state statutes on... key issues:
UCITA... omits case law from its list of what is preserved when it conflicts with UCITA. [Section 105(c)]...
...(and) subsection 105(d) wipes out all existing state consumer protection statutes requiring writing, signature, conspicuousness, consent or agreement.
UCITA permits a licensor who has induced a consumer to enter into a long-term access contract to change the terms of the contract and hold the consumer to materially changed terms.
* UCITA is fundamentally unbalanced
The problems with UCITA are too many and too deeply embedded in the draft to fully
describe in a letter of any reasonable length. This letter has focused on some of the
overarching problems with UCITA, but there are many others that have been raised
in the public debate. "
