Yep, they try to make their own laws, like putting little stickers/seals on computers claiming you loose warranty by opening the case. And what they do with software licenses is legendary. I remember once opening a package, finding a sheet of paper inside saying "If you open the package you accept the terms...". So it's good to know your rights - google it or ask your local authorities or consumer advocates.
