If you bought it, you own it. Does your DVD player hardware come with a license agreement?

I can't tell if I'm missing something here because for some reason I think you're expecting the answer to be "no"?

But, yes DVD players come with license agreements, EULAs.

Hunh? So you are saying that if I buy the DVD player at https://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-dvd-player-with-hd-upconve... that I'm agreeing to an "EULA" that doesn't seem to exist on the site and that is apparently not mentioned at all before purchase?

Please tell me you're joking.

Do you live in the USA? Very likely yes that DVD player will come with a EULA (End User License Agreement) in/on the box when it arrives.

Other places I'm not sure, but I'd guess you'll get one anyway.

Will they hold up in court? Who knows. But look and you're likely to find one they'll at least pretend applies to you.

(And to be clear, yes I agree that this is _ridiculous_)

If you're in the EU, that DVD player won't have a EULA attached. If you're in the US, it will.

The last one I bought came with a printout of the GPL2.

You tell me because I don't own a DVD player. :)

Yes.
