This week, one of the most-commented stories on OSNews was the story about how 'Maxxus' cracked/hacked (take your pick) the Intel version of Apple's OSX once again. This sparked a lively debate over whether we should encourage Maxxus, or condemn his actions. I made myself clear from the get-go: I condemn his actions. Note: This is the Sunday Eve Column of the week.

You don't go into a car dealer, choose any car, then walk out with it after paying, with the dealer expecting you to sign the ownership paperwork in the glove compartment and mail it to them later on.
It's the same with finance plans; you sign a document before purchase so that the company has legal standings to claim that money from you. They would not let you walk out of the door with the product, expecting you to pay them because a sign that can only be read once the product is open and used says so.

Signatures are not always needed to bind a contract.
Willfully choosing to remain ignorant of the terms of the contract offered by the other party in the exchange won't do you much good when you're sued for breach of contract.
