If I buy something then I can legally do just about anything I want to it, no matter what the company tries to convince me I can and can't do.

The biggest con so far when it comes to "digital contracts" are the EULAs, which to my knowledge hasn't been proven in any european country. Don't even think it's ever been ruled on in USA where the concept originated. It's a scare tactic, pure and simple. They're not worth the digital ink they're written with until a legal precedent has been set for each product category.

A company's EULA has no more legal, moral or ethical value than the rights you as a consumer enjoy. Don't let anyone try to trick you into thinking otherwise. They're companies, not nations.
Outstanding post!!!
