"click-wrap" arbitration clause ruled unconscionable

Honestly I don't really care that much about Second Life; I have enough to do in First Life just now, thanks, and plenty more amusements than I have time to spare for them.
What _is_ of interest to me here are the grounds on which the Terms of Service was judged "unconscionable". These all seem pretty reasonable to me (although at some point the whole question of jurisdiction in the context of the Internet is going to get jerked around pretty hard, I suspect), so I'm hoping that this decision will percolate up and maybe do some real good elsewhere.
