I understand your point of view and agree that wrong is wrong.
But
If you purchase something that has a binding legal agreement with and 
you use said product you are bound by law to abide by that agreement.  
Wrong is wrong even if it's my wrong.

Read and understand the rules of a product before purchasing the 
product. We need to be smart consumers not sheep that make mistakes 
because we didn't read and understand the agreement.

Maybe if we didn't purchase the stuff that has crazy legal agreements 
the legal agreements wouldn't be so crazy.

The power company tells us to call before we dig but every year people 
are killed by underground power lines when they put a spade through the 
line. Should the power company have to post a warning every 5 feet.  The 
price of power would be $100.00 per kWh, what then?

Read and understand the safety warnings before you use your power tools 
and remember always wear safety glasses.
