Nintendo 3DS's Terms of Use agreement "steals" user generated content.

According to a recent DefectiveByDesign Newsletter, the Nintendo 3DS's EULA, (End User License Agreement), is absolutely unacceptable and must be "bricked".

Among other things, the "Terms of Agreement", if accepted, grants Nintendo the irrevocable right to all information and content originating from "your" 3DS, including messages, images - photos - etc, etc.

Such an agreement is tantamount to camera manufacturer claiming rights to pictures taken with their cameras. ...go figure...

DefectiveByDesign.org actively campaigns to eliminate the various forms of DRM, (Digital Rights Management).
