Ice With That?

I think the video below neatly summarizes how abusive some EULAs (End User License Agreements, the contracts you are supposed to consent to when you buy software or use a web site) and pricing schemes of most proprietary software companies are.



See also the slashdot discussion on abusive EULA's. Bet you didn't know about this provision in most Microsoft products:

You may install and use one copy of the software on one device. You may install multiple copies of the software on one device provided that you have a license for each copy. You may install and use a second copy of the software on a portable device for use by only the primary user of the first copy.

So you can copy your original, non-pirated MS Office to your laptop, but you can't let anyone else use it! You are actually in breach of contract for sharing (not a copy, but the very use of) software. Isn't this insane?
