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

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.

Maybe we need a law that says "if advertising and the terms of purchase say different things, whichever one is more favorable to the buyer applies, even if the less favorable one has a provision that says it always applies in cases of conflict".
