That's because the conditions are percieved as ridiculous judging from a fairness point of view. That is valid no matter what remedies exist or can de deviced. >Nobody used his brain to realize that it was not a problem. NOBODY. I think that EVERYONE knows that it's possible to circumvent almost any restrictions known to man. Almost any counteraction can be justified if you think about it. Software piracy is proper way to deal with unreasonable pricing and viruses is a service for customers with poor security. In this case I don't think that the ends justifies the means. If it was truely unfair conditions then don't sign the contract or try to change it IMO. Individualization of moral standards is a problem. Personally, I prefer the Bruce Moreland approach. That demands considerable brain activity if I'm not mistaken. >Isn't it SHOCKING? No, not really. >If we generalize this to our whole lives, I think it's pretty likely that >EVERYDAY on a number of topics, we all believe in something and agree with each >other without even using our brains. There are probably numerous occasions where you're right in your assumption. However, I believe that most people contemplates the consequences before breaking any patterns. That is also brain usage.
