The Infancy Doctrine: An Epic Departure

The legal system faces challenges in addressing minors' contractual obligations in online environments, particularly through EULAs and TOS agreements. The article argues that the infancy doctrine, which allows minors to disaffirm contracts, is being eroded by court rulings and adhesion contracts. It advocates for legislative intervention to clarify and strengthen protections for minors, ensuring they are not exploited while balancing the interests of businesses. The proposed solutions aim to restore the doctrine's original protective purpose, particularly in cases involving intangible property like virtual goods in video games.
