EULAs are bullshit, but that's a different story entirely.

We're talking about a treaty, and those do get read (international law has a mountain of shortcomings, but that's also a different story). And while it's a super complex treaty in that episode, there are super complex contracts that get read and enforced even today, and we don't have the resources of the Enterprise. Imagine the Ctrl + F power on that sucker.
