I used to be one of those screechers. I don't agree with downloading a car, but I used to be greatly offended with the terms of service. I've now decided to pick my battles, and just roll with it when I use my Kindle.

Edit: It's a cheeky reference to the Preamble I used to see against pirating movies. "You wouldn't steal a car..."
