  Note: varies from state to state.

As I understand the UK licensing (licencing) law, you would not have to pay a licence fee if you do not have a device capable of receiving or recording TV programming. If you have a DVD player with no recording capability and a monitor without a tuner you may be exempt from licencing requirements.
See http://www.kevinboone.com/tv_licence.html for a but more information.

IANAL.

This is hardly an excuse.

Let's imagine for a moment that EULAs are legally-enforceable contracts, which they are in Scotland.

Would you say the same thing about any other legally-enforceable contract such as a credit agreement or an employment contract?

When agreeing to a contract whether by signature of by electronic signature, you should always read all the terms of the contract you are agreeing to otherwise if/when things go "wrong" it is the person who agreed to the contract in the first instance who is at fault and no-one else.

Now, the only way I could theoretically see the inclusion of spyware by EULA being ruled illegal would be by something similar to the UK's Unfair Contract Terms Act - I'm not sure whether there is something similar in the US however it could potentially be argued in a court that the inclusion of such applications would be an unfair contract term, however there is no such rules set in stone as to what is and what isn't an unfair term.

No, according to Nyquist's theorem, a signal with a frequency LESS THAN 22050KHz sampled at 44.1KHz will be UNIQUELY REPRESENTED. As in, mathematically recoverable. It says nothing about whether a particular filter/DAC/signal processor will be able to perfectly reproduce it. If your frequency is high enough, then you will just end up with some weird beat pattern that may be unique, but in no way represents the original signal when filtered.

Here's a website that explains it in more detail: here. A quote: Myth 3: `sampling at twice the maximum bandwidth is enough: Nyquist's theorem says so.' Wrong! Nyquist's limit is a theoretical abstraction. In practice, experts recommend figures of 2.5 to 10 times the maximum bandwidth.

We're almost there...

If you use or install television receiving equipment to receive or record television programme services you are required by law to have a valid TV Licence.
