iPod "warning"
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.
Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

Sorry for changing the subject, but...
Most of the examples you came up with, while true, deal with safety. People should know the safety related risks involved with a product when they buy it...even if it is stone obvious like not drinking detergent! Companies get sued for safety related issues all the time - stupid or not. I've never heard of a company getting sued for an individual's theft.
The only example that you came up with that came close to what I was talking about was the disclaimer before the movie. As I'm sure you know, CDs have similar disclaimers...in fact, most of the new CDs don't just have the fine print, they have this big FBI seal and such. In addition to that, every p2p program that I've come in contact with warns you not to d/l copyrighted material. Therefore, everyone in the process of illegal downloading has been warned. We now arrive back at my prior position of the iPod warning being about as strange as a car with a note telling you not to steal gas.
And now...back to your regularly scheduled Speedo documentary programming

Corey wrote:Is this really a problem? When you buy a powertool there is always a warning label with some dude getting his head chopped off. Do you really intend to use the tool for that purpose? Detergents tell you not to drink them. Every movie today displays a copyright notice before the movie starts. Is this really such a new concept? I bet if you opened the manual to your car you would find several warnings. Perhaps not to steal gas but many others. In fact at the gas station, there is a warning not to smoke around the pumps. The flyer was simply a warning on how NOT to use the iPod which I'm sure you promptly discarded. So what is the big deal?

Well, maybe along the lines of doing something illegal with a legal product I can present this modern day example:
Every toy gun producted today is either multi-colored, looks nothing like a real gun, or has a misplaced bright orange cap on the end. This is for the pure purpose of preventing people from holding up gas stations with a toy gun.
I don't believe that the "don't steal fuel for your car" is a suitable comparison because there is really only one way to obtain fuel for a car. From a gas station. Maybe if there was a rampant illegal fuel ring that people used for an alternative like Kazaa Gas(TM). However, a more suitable comparison I can come up with is that I have a fuel tank (clearly used for putting gasoline into) and there is a warning on it that tells me it is not intended for filling up road vehicles. Again, how NOT to use the product.
How's that?

you can also get gas by sucking it out with a hose out of someone's fuel tank.

You don't blow into the hose! If you did that you would just blow bubbles into the gas, like when you blow into a straw.-Sarah
Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.
