Yes I'm aware of that, but that kind of agreement isn't valid in
Sweden.
That would be tantamount to allowing software piracy in Sweden. The
Mac OS X
license agreements are contained in a PDF file here:

There is a Swedish language agreement for sales in Sweden. Using on-
line
translation tools, it appears to be similar to what's already been
stated;
use of the software consistutes acceptance of the agreement. If you
do not
agree, you are requested to return the software. Presumably, the
retail
materials contain this agreement, and I'm sure there is digital copy
that is
presented and must be agreed to before use.
I'm sure that Apple has very good lawyers who drafted the license
agreements
and are aware of Swedish law. While what you are doing may or may
not be in
violation of any licenses, your position that "clicking yes or no is
not a
handshake or oral agreement acording to Swedish law" seems dubious and
ill-advised.
Consider what you're suggesting: If EULA's and license agreements
simply
weren't valid in Sweden, then what would prevent massive piracy from
occuring? I would assume that if license agreements in Sweden weren't
enforcable, someone would be setting up their own software copying
business.
...and if that happened, I would expect software companies to change
their
license agreements in order to prevent it.
If you are under 18 you can't make any
legally binding agreements without your legal guardians permission.
That might be true, but at least in the United States, parents or
guardians
are usually held responsible.
