I don't understand because I'm not American but how does New York the city have such powers? At least where I am, cities aren't really "real" in that they are constructs the provincial government creates (and can uncreate). A city here could never make such a ban.
I believe we're at the point where living in modern society and dodging these abusive EULAs is nigh impossible.
