Faust 2.0
The only blood these contracts are signed in is from me cutting my hand trying to open the goddamn CD case.
Title text: The only blood these contracts are signed in is from me cutting my hand trying to open the goddamn CD case.

Explanation

E.U.L.A. is short for End-user license agreement, a license that software makers often attach to their software. Agreement to a E.U.L.A. is assumed when a user uses the software or service that the E.U.L.A. is attached to, which has led to cases where users have unknowingly actually agreed to give away their immortal souls because of a clause in a E.U.L.A.

Transcript

Satan: Mortal! I come offering a deal -
Cueball: Read the sign.
Satan: "By entering this room, you agree to forfeit your own soul rather than negotiate with the mortal residing therein..." Wait, you can't -
Cueball: Too late.
Caption: Mephistopheles encounters the E.U.L.A.

Discussion

It's also a reference to cd sleeve seals that say "by tearing this seal you agree to the enclosed license agreement" as it is obvious that mephistopheles has already entered the room 173.245.53.163 18:19, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

What if I cut around the seal? --Alexbuzzbee (talk) 04:14, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
I did things like that from time to time, and opened the CD case on the other end, etc. So far noone noticed. --Lupo (talk) 07:38, 28 June 2019 (UTC)

Since angels and demons are pure spirit, and have no body, the mortal now owns the whole demon. 172.68.58.191 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
