The whole fucking thing is absurd. The idea that I can't hack around with a piece of HW that I paid for is OBSCENE. Not that I am in the least interested in aibo but the priciple is a real problem.
So while companies are thinking that they control the terms of the licensing agreement couldn't a consumer write up their own terms in contract form and get the seller to sign off or no sale? This could work with expensive toys like the aibo. Mike
