Damn. And I always make a point of obeying EULAs to the letter, too ...

All designs automatically get licensed to the manufacturer? That's an unfairly broad EULA, akin to a printer that assigns ownership of all printed documents to the printer manufacturer! Would anyone make designs for this machine under these conditions?
Anyway, I doubt that many of the terms of the EULA can be enforced. Even if they could, some clever person like Bunnie Huang could get a hold of a refurbished unit and bypass the clickthrough.
I think the EULA is a poor way to promote good user behavior. Some kind of immune system-like response to bad events might be a better way to go.
