This also just so happens to be able to defeat the GPL as well. Any modification renders software incapable of opening existing data files, and any modification means its internet connection attempts may be rejected. Modifying the software generally means it will not *work* anymore. The source code is pretty much useless.
== Made band example generic ==
I've edited the section "Users don't control information they receive" to change the Metallica reference to "a band" - no point in singling out any particular band in an example unless it's factual, it is in fact counterproductive if you're trying to make a point as you risk alienating the reader. I also changed the section from the 2nd person ("you") to a more neutral style (although it can still be improved, was a quick edit). I forgot to login before making the edit, but it was me.
I am completely against TC, it is an intolerable abuse of our rights as consumers. That said, this article needs some rewriting in parts, in order to look more professional. The 2nd person needs to go, the text should be made impersonal. I do not feel the article is POV at all, it's providing both points of view as well as can be done on something that clearly has no real benefits for anyone other than a few corporations. Being NPOV does not mean making something bad look less bad; it means laying things out like they are. Just because an article on murder, for example, doesn't say '"Well, on the other hand, sometimes the victim might be really ugly"' or something doesn't really mean it's not NPOV.
