I also accept a license to use my toaster when I buy it, and the intellectual property rights are still owned by the manufacturer, etc. I wouldn't call burying it in legalese that no one ever reads and even fewer understand, "pretty explicit".

It's really frustrating to me that "say one thing on the page and another thing in the terms" has been steadily creeping from "that's a scam" to "that's a completely normal business practice", and it's even more frustrating that some people defend it.
