I agree that the sum is ridiculous, but i'm sure these guys realize that the tech behind these sites is really simple.
Rather, they're going after the millions of click happy and pop culture infused money spending drones that frequent these sites.
2 billion dollars? 750 million and they turned it down?
This is the very cause for the Social Networking Backlash Techcrunch covered like snubster.com and isolatr.com
As has been mentioned. The cockpit door is now reinforced and locked on US flight. I also found out recently what happens when the pilots want to take a bathroom break. They turn on the seatbelt sign and announce that for the next 10 minutes everyone must remain in their seat. Then 1 flight attendant goes into the cockpit and then they unlock the door and go to the bathroom one at a time.
1. This service is being offered for free. Don't see how a free service is going to generate tons of subscription revenues for GM.
2. All this system does is scan your car's Car Area Network for any fault codes. This is the same stuff they have been scanning for years when you take it into the shopt. It's not going to report back to GM what you ate for lunch or if you listen to too much Britney on your radio.
3. If they FBI really wanted to track you, I'm sure they could do it without GM's help. And I doubt they have enough time to track everyone who happens to own a car made by GM or by a company who is owned by GM.
4. What about the benefits of this FREE system to the consumer? Catching a problem early is probably cheaper to fix than if the driver doesn't notice till the engine melts.
5. If you're really that concerned, you should try a vehicle that doesn't have any data monitoring devices like a bike.
I think what the EULA is covering here is if you bought a copy of the game and then you somehow destroyed your copy, you'd have a valid sign on, but no game. In this case you'd want to buy the game from another person.
Notice that this is not the buying of an account, but it is the selling of the game and all game materials to another person.
Humorous Video Clips? Highly suspect ...

I use kazaa k++ for perfectly legitimate reasons, such as finding beta patches to games or looking for humerous video clips.
Who's he trying to fool with "humorous video clips" We all know what he's really downloading.

Let's be reasonable.

I was thinking the same thing earlier today.
Seeing how we think Osama might be in that country. And seeing how we have submarines with undersea cable tapping capabilities.
Note that the article about there being too much data was in 2001. Moore's Law might have allowed us to compute this amount of data by now.
Apparently the real end of the contraption took a few days, a few internet posts, a bad internet connection and a slashdotted server.
