Focus On Ethics. Any Guarantees?

Hello, yesterday was a "football night" for me & last night I had a time to watching football, it's for a long time I'm waiting to do that before.. =)

Okay, I'm not touched about football, here is about our ethics on buying & selling (software privacy).
Here's an article for who's want to buy a software product (especially tangible product); Most software packages are covered by "shrink-wrap licenses". The licenses information is visible through the shrink-wrap packaging & the purchaser is supposed to read it before opening. The act of opening the packages signifies the user's acceptance of the terms of the license. Although many packages display the license agreement during installation & require the user to check a box to signify acceptance, by that time it's too late to change your mind.

Most vendors will not accept returns of opened software. These licenses contain language shielding the vendor from all claims other than those arising from physical defects in the CD. Recently, Congress & courts have moved to make these licenses more enforceable & to allow software manufacturers the right to change the terms of the license after purchase.

Read the shrink-wrap license that came with some software that you or your company purchased. What remedies does the license give you if the product doesn't work or if it damages your computer? Now read the warranty from an inexpensive electronic device, say a VCR, DVD player, or TV. What similarities & differences you see?

Software corporations argue that they need the protective terms of the shrink-wrap license to shield them from frivolous lawsuits. Consumer advocates assert that consumers need recourse if the product doesn't work as advertised. How would you balance these competing claims?
