A few words to people using iTunes. Since most of us skip reading the license agreement and hit the ‘I Agree’ button without questioning what’s written in there, I took the liberty to highlight some interesting parts from the mighty Apple License Agreement:

10. Export Control. You may not use or otherwise export or reexport the Apple Software except as authorized by United States law and the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Apple Software was obtained. In particular, but without limitation, the Apple Software may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any U.S. embargoed countries or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Person’s List or Entity List. You also agree that you will not use these products for any purposes prohibited by United States law, including, without limitation, the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, or nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.

So you have found a way to create nuclear weapons with your copy of iTunes, please don’t.

Without limiting the foregoing, under no circumstances shall 3Com be held liable for any delay or failure in performance resulting directly or indirectly from acts of nature, forces, or causes beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, Internet failures, computer equipment failures, telecommunication equipment failures, other equipment failures, electrical power failures, strikes, labor disputes, riots, insurrections, civil disturbances, shortages of labor or materials, fires, floods, storms, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental actions, orders of domestic or foreign courts or tribunals, non-performance of third parties, or loss of or fluctuations in heat, light, or air conditioning.

Also, you cannot sue 3Com (which apparently has something to do with iTunes) if God for some reason decides to interfere with the operation of your copy of iTunes. For those still not sure, 3Com is not above God, cannot control the weather, is not liable if their equipment breaks down and if for some reason their employees aren’t happy and decide to go on a strike, that’s not their fault either. In other words, if you can find something they can be sued on, you must be God. I wonder where Allah or any other deity stands in this whole story. Would Buddha sabotage your copy of iTunes?

For those interested, here is a page filled with rules and regulations for those night you just can’t catch your sleep.
