There were no current decisions - such contracts are relatively new, and few laws were passed explicitly for or against them - mostly against, but were struck down by the Supreme Court.

And it does not follow that a decision made by an entity inside the society, was made by the society as a whole, or that it has any sort of majority support, even if it is law. By that logic, you could argue that we, as a society, decided that one-click shopping is worthy of patent protection, and that it should be illegal do unlock your own phone.
