Now add the fact that Richard Dreyfuss' fame and fortune comes mostly from the entertainment industry with its ridiculously restrictive licensing (which doesn't allow me to see his film work online, since I'm in a "wrong" country), and the irony comes full circle.

Personally, I'd rather click "Ok" on a absurd (and unread) EULA than to not have access to the product at all.




Your "no access to the product" of course includes a caveat, which is that you haven't paid for the product.

If you apply the same caveat to the EULA-bound Apple products, the net effect is the same: "no access to the product".

So no irony here, not even Alanis's flavor.


Which is exactly what the South Park episode parodies. Oh, the meta-irony!
