What’s In Those License Agreements


Oh man, this is dumber than I ever thought. I was reading Maddox after he points out that the user license for fucking iTunes says “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 nuclear, missiles, or chemical or biological weapons.” Actually, I got that from the EULA for the iTunes store. Which is much the same. I’m just sitting here trying to figure out how I can manufacture ‘nuclear’ or chemical weapons with my damn iTunes. Is that feature hidden in there somewhere? Is global thermonuclear war an Easter Egg? The day that terrorists make a nuclear bomb out of iTunes is the day that I join the terrorists.

but dude, what if you’re a terrorist who cant function without your i-pod (to give you that pump) when you do something esp. terrorizing. e.g. building nuclear weapon? I-pod guilty for aiding and abating terrorism. The laws cover every loophole im told. Thank god for the Chinese

But I think you could technically wear your iPod while committing a suicide bombing or something, I think that’s OK

HAHA never saw this before! Perhaps the songs that are bought from iTunes may be used to trigger the bomb! :O

Guess Al Fuckya Arsehawi, your friendly neighborhood Taliban, can film herself making a dirty bomb and post it to iTunes as a vodcast. This would I guess be illegal, though frankly, seeing Backstreet Boys videos on iTunes can drive most to greater violence.

I think, technically, you could do that. It doesn’t prohibit the display of WMD, just their manufacture. I think it’s against the EULA to post or view bomb making tips, but it’s OK to show the bomb exploding.

Firaz: Not all of them run with the dispatch guys. Most now run independently because they just get more hires off the road. People are more inclined to jump in a meter taxi these days. That’s what I hear.
