Go ahead, i will!

“Box-Wrap” Patent Infringement.What’s that, you ask? Evidently, it’s when you ignore the terms written on the side of Lexmark printer cartridge box, refilling the cartridge with ink even when the company has designated it “single use only.” According to the Ninth Circuit ruling [PDF] this week in ACRA v. Lexmark, opening the package means you agree to Lexmark’s wishes. And if you break that agreement, you could face claims under contract and patent law.

this is ridiculous. how does opening something make it a binding contract. bah… now i just want to refill one out of spite!
