encasing the computer in concrete and dropping it in the ocean is a layer of security, and even with all of the above, it might still be vulnerable if it has windows on it . . .
It's not a case of 'they have to provide the means' it is that they are deliberately attempting to interfere with and restrict our rights - its the same 'deliberate action' argument that has recently caused trouble for a few P2P networks, but as SONY's legal team has more $$, i doubt they will have any serious penalty
And if I'm not mistaken, there is some DRM software installed before you even agree to the EULA, just so that if you don't agree, you can't go back and do it properly.
in that case agree to the eula, then remove the DRM that was installed before you agreed to it . .
a good step in the direction would be a big red message saying: $program is attemtion to change $(low-level,and important thing), PRESS NO unless you are installing new hardware.
if you give the user a good reason to click no by default, that would remove a large number of problems where things that shouldn't be requesting system level changes do.
possibly the real problem is that the average user doesn't know what actions require what permissions.
