You should've replied that the Digital Rights Management built into your 
camera wouldn't let unauthorised users access low-level data management 
so as to maintain optimum data integrity and the only way they could 
access the data stored would be to license the patent you hold for 'a 
biological device for interface with physical data management systems 
perpetuated via limited resource mechanical, electrical and/or 
electronic device(s)'. Or pay you to press the buttons.

Of course, if you used a film camera it wouldn't have been so easy for 
them. The EULA that you agreed to as you entered prevented storage of 
their proprietary data in electronic storage mechanisms but they plum 
forgot the mechanical data retrieval systems - they'll have to add a 
supplemental EULA to Get The Facts Server Edition 2005, which will be 
out in Q4 2006.
