Someone like the EFF needs to take this to court. Surely it cannot be legal to make a one-sided change to an agreement about an already-purchased product!

This may well be the first step in changing the agreement on new sales. I'm guessing there is no shortage of attorneys that would be happy to sue them if they tried to change it on previous purchases.
