Yeah, and by the same logic, it would be a little hard to argue, that DRM is really DRM, when you can get a free tool to strip it....

You must love small print. And enjoy studying contracts and warranties (ah, the washing machine one, at 230 pages, must be heaven!)
Me, I like reading short ads with big claims. Like this one, from Amazon:
"
No Wireless Bills
No monthly wireless bills, data plans, or commitments. Amazon pays for Kindle's wireless connectivity so you won't see a wireless bill. There is no wireless setup--you are ready to shop, purchase and read right out of the box." (

If this "clearly" means "no free delivery" in some universe, it must be where all the structured financing guarantees came from.
