Wellington Grey has a great little slideshow about the idiocy of the DMCA's
"anti-circumvention" measures, which prohibit breaking the digital locks off
the stuff you own. In it, Grey recounts how offended he was when he bought a
TomTom GPS that came with a CD in a sealed envelope, the seal on which read,
"By breaking this seal, you agree to our contract," but the contract itself
was on the CD, behind the seal. In other words, the CD said, "By breaking
this seal, you agree to a bunch of secret stuff."
