The licensors maintain that the sale has not been completed until the
"license" clickies have been clicked on by a person competent to enter into
the contract. If true this would mean that if the clicking is done by a
minor there is no sale and therefor any subsequent use is copyright
infringment to the extent that it involves copying that would be legal for
the owner of the copy.
