Yes, most EULAs and DRM systems impose restrictions that greatly limit what you are allowed to do with software. If you think this is fooling people then don't buy such software, donate money to Open Source projects or contract Open Source developers directly. Open Source model is great if you want to really own quality software without spending millions on it.
What I fail to see is how legalizing file sharing on massive scale (akin to MegaUpload) and banning DRM technologies would improve consumer rights. The natural response from the market would be to move to the cloud which means even more restrictions and privacy concerns than in the current model.
I agree that there are some reforms needed, but I'm against revolution that this document proposes.
