Technically, if ESR knew the identity of the perpetrator and was issued a subpeona, then he'd be guilty of aiding and abetting at the very least if he refused to reveal the perp's ID.
Actually, I believe it would be contempt of court.
IANAL
If these EULAs are legally binding, should there not also be an age restriction on the purchase of software? If a minor is not able to enter into a contract then they are not able to agree to the EULA. If they are not able to agree to the EULA then why sell them the software?
Have your children open and install all of your software...that way there is no legally binding agreement:P
Fry's tries to do the same thing here in Sacramento. I permit them put the check mark on the receipt (even though I do not have to), but I refuse to let them look in the bags. I did not waive my rights to protection from unreasonable searches when I entered that store. If they don't like that, they can ask me to leave. But they will not search me.
Pepsico does the same thing. In my city hall (Sacramento), you can't buy a Coke since Pepsi has an exclusive license. In a government building, of all things:/
Exclusive licenses are very common and very much a part of today's business world. I'm not saying they are right or wrong, just that they exist. Microsoft is not doing anything unique...just better.
At least in California. The California State Constitution, Article I, Section I says:
All people are by nature free and independent and have
inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and
liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing
and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy.
The manufacturer could easily put the nutritional information on the individual packages. The reason they do not is that they were sold as a bundle. The manufacturer never intended for the candies to be sold separately.

Your attempt to dissemble the "Flat-Earth-Hole-To-China" intellectual property is a clear violation of the DMCA. SCO will soon declare you invalid.
Why do they need an In-n-Out? There's already a FatBurger!! :)

Don't you mean "those folks in Ohio"? :P

Or if you are a minor. A minor may not enter into a contract. So the click through license agreement is just a waste of time.

As far as #2 goes, the traditional polling places could replace their current punch cards (or whatever your state uses) with terminals.

The difference is:
Not voting is a choice, but not paying is theft.

Actually, the Constitution refers to none of those. That is the Declaration of Independence.
