It may be like many of the copyrighted maps. With Rand McNally there are built in errors in streets that "only" they know about, unless you happen accross the error in using the map. So if the map is replicated they can prove it was originally theirs and hence copyright infringement.
QUOTES and "Breach of contract"

Does this also mean that anyone baptized under the new contractual implications of JW baptism vows - as a minor - can also legally insist that a DF be cancelled, as the baptism is an illegal contract, (therefore invalid), and only those with valid baptismal contracts can be DF.
I think such "baptismal contracts" should be subject to renegotiation every time there's new light™. My dedication and baptism took place before a lot of changes, and most certainly is not subject to change on the whim of some f*cked up old bastards in Brooklyn.
A bit off topic - can they even prove someone was baptized? I don't remember signing anything with them, and I know I didn't get a "baptismal certificate" like other churches will give. What kind of cheapass shit religion are the JWs anyway?

This part of the EULA is priceless:
WATCH TOWER DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE DATA IS IDENTICAL TO WATCH TOWER'S PUBLICATIONS.
Meaning that they may have made subtle changes from the originals that they don't want anyone to notice....

Not necessarily subtle in meaning though. Lying bastards.

Yes, that's a "canary trap." They're commonly used in reference works that could easily be plagiarized. (e.g. Encyclopedias) --Some obscure little entry that is deliberately wrong or fictitious. If a competitor includes it in their product, it proves beyond doubt that they were copying instead of doing their own research. It's also a handy tool for tracing the source of a "leak" in situations where secrecy is required. (e.g. Everyone in the boardroom is given a slightly different version of the same basic information.) Deliberate deviations in text on the WTLIB CD could be made to serve a similar purpose, proving that the disputed material comes from the CD and not the original. -

You may transfer all the SOFTWARE and all Printed Materials to another party who is one of Jehovah’s Witnesses but only if that party accepts all of the terms of this Agreement...
So does this mean they can go after the folks selling their CDs on eBay and other venues?
