Perhaps I should expound further on this non-commercial use bit.
Supposing I download some excellent works on Mukkinese Battle Horns and 
become an expert
on them. If I am then paid to give a lecture or too write a book myself 
I can't because I have agreed
not to use my books and consequently the bit of my brain that holds 
those memories for commercial use.
Because some goon :-) at Amazon might stop me.
This is just bonkers. It applies just as well to any computer subject.

Now maybe some people don't get this. If you are an inventive person 
like me restrictions on your intellectual endeavours seem
highly disturbing. This is a serious consequence of Digital Restrictions 
Management.

Just as well I have no intention of buying one of these things.
