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

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.
Posted: 7/5/2005, 8:41 am
I thought you blew into the hose....I'm not trying to be dirty, I just thought that was how you siphoned gas.
Posted: 7/5/2005, 8:42 am
i have no idea. i've never done it before. it's gross. and i like getting my gas the legal way.
Posted: 7/5/2005, 8:45 am
You may have to do it out of neccesity one day.
Posted: 7/5/2005, 9:33 am
i'll get someone to do it for me.
Posted: 7/5/2005, 12:10 pm

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.Posted: 7/5/2005, 2:56 pm
maybe he likes his gas bubbly
