You're sure a hard person. But do you really believe that buried in the MSN Music EULA, there was something that actually said "We may, at some point in the future, deactivate our authentication server, thus making your music non-playable." I doubt it - so even if the user read the EULA, it wouldn't have mattered. Who's going to read the EULA for a 99 cent song?

Take a look at the Zune EULA:

7200 words. Who in their right mind would take 30+ minutes to read through that, especially since it can be changed without notice, for any reason. It could say "we're going to take your first born child" and no one would notice.
