The FSF's Campaign Against the Nintendo 3DS

Max Hyre writes "The Nintendo 3DS's terms of so-called service, and the even more grotesquely-misnamed privacy policy, make it clear that you are in the service of Nintendo. Specifically, anything you do, write, photograph, or otherwise generate with the 3DS is Nintendo's possession, for them to use however, whenever, and for as long as they want. On the other hand, if you do something they don't like, they're prepared to turn your device into a doorstop — and you gave them permission when you started using it. And if you have a child's best interests at heart, don't give it to anyone too young to know to never use her real name, type in an address or phone number, or take any personally-identifiable photos. They might, at best, end up in a Nintendo ad."

"Brick Nintendo before they brick you". Come on!
The FSF has taken many extreme fundamentalist decisions in the past, how can I trust that they are reasonable today? Because they say that "User Content" is anything you do on your 3DS. Wouldn't that be called user activity?
It would be nice to have another article, with a more balanced approach.
