The other thing to note about the EULAs is that you basically agree to them by signing with your Cable/DSL provider. The original poster was upset that the installer accepted all of the EULAs, without requesting input from him or his family. His family agreed when they signed the contract for that very first month with the provider.
I guess since I'm writing part of the s/w, I can explain. When I started the project, all I had to my name was a computer and a 19" monitor. I am a college student, and therefore, by law, I am required to be broke. In my dorm room, I don't have a television, and I don't particularly like watching dumb sitcoms....but I do like watching films.
DVDs were the best answer for me, because the 19" monitor was large enough to watch them, and I didn't need to purchase a TV or VCR/DVD. The only nuisance was the OS I had to use to watch them. Thus, started LSDVD. Does that answer your Q?
