Your "integrity" tells you that it's fine to renege upon an agreement into which you've freely and voluntarily entered? I'm glad I will never have to do business with you. Does your mortgage company know that you feel this way about contracts? And don't try throw "fair use" into the discussion; it's not even relevant.


Just like the religious use there moral values to denegrate homosexuality, you use your "corporate rights outweigh an individuals rights" values to denegrate those that believe in "fair use."


I've never claimed that "corporate rights outweigh an individual's rights." Why are you trying to change the subject? Can't you ever stick to the point, instead of arguing semantics or throwing up weak straw-man arguments? Again, "fair use" doesn't come into play. The EULA in no way interferes with "fair use," as it is defined by law. (But you already know that, and just use the term in another lame attempt to change the subject.)
