After reading this I just have to wonder how far this will actually go. http://www.techdirt.com/article.php?sid=20061113/010636&cid=199

Does all this refer to the camera firmware, or to the software (image editing and storage) delivered with it? If it's the former, it stinks. If it's the latter, it's the most normal thing with software - you can't give any kind of computer software to somebody else to be installed on this person's computer (unless you delete the copy on your machine, and the other guy deletes it again if he gives it back, I guess).

OK, so the camera firmware police will come and arrest us all and confiscate our cameras. Great way to win loyal customers! While I agree with the premise, I don't think this is an issue.
