If you don't think that privacy isn't an issue, try violating a EULA in a software download. Some things such as intellectual property, real propertys threats, personal property are covered, and you may want the press, rather than the law, to be your friend. Act accordingly.

Yes, we are gradually losing our rights one small piece at a time. The RIAA statutes, not to mention the RICO statutes, are just another right gone.

I remember a time in the not so distant past, when if I bought something it was mine.

With a EULA, it's a contract that you legally say you will not violate, or, if you do, we will come after you. It's typical "boilerplate language" used to get you what you will use, and hopefully enjoy, or profit, by whatever it does for you, via the software activity.

There were no computers in the days that the Constitution was drawn up, but I'd stake money on it that Ben Franklin would be happy to know, that people can still have a contract on something, such as intellectual property. You should be rewarded for your effort, as many times as you can re-create it. Just wish that I had thought it up before someone else.
