Your nephew has taken an overly simplified view if that's what he 
believes.

The courts will enforce the EULA (as happened in the UK this week) 
although they may not enforce parts of it.

Remember that without the EULA you have no right whatsoever to use the 
software unless there can be an implied license which the courts have not, 
AIUI, ever taken to exist where an EULA (no matter how faulty it is) 
exists.
