  1. We need to change laws a bit... something along the lines of: 1) advertisments are binding in the language used in said advert (basically, adverts imply contract conditions). Eg. to illustrate on an actual case that had been to trial, Pepsi co. would have to find a way to deliver a harrier to a campaign participant, just as depicted in their ad and they'd be forced to expend all company resources to do it to the point of ceasing operation and releasing all their trade secrets to the public. 2) EULA is inammendable after signing up for services, unless law makes that mandatory and ammendment in such case must be strictly to explain provisions of the law, that are mandatory to introduce. If you sign a contract to date X, those are the terms and conditions by which that business relationship is governed. Ony new business, to the extent to which it is new, may be governed by new terms and conditions. 3) This kind of stuff was ripe for a class action and reminding ourselves, that class actions usually deliver 4 to 5 bucks to each participants, even though the pot was much, much bigger. The new rules for them need to be, that the amount paid out are based on the most damaged party and these damages are then multiplied by number of even remotely eligable participants in the class action, and only then this amount calculated amount is then considered for punitive damages, whcich can not be capped. Parent companies and individuals are then responsible with all of their equity for these judgements and they are not dischargable through bankruptcy. Once class action is filed, it can not be ended with agreement. 5) Contracts are, going forward, forced to use not legal clauses, but plain old English as defined by dictionary universally accepted by the court. EG, companies don't get to define the meaning of a word. That is for the courts. 6) Companies are mandated to provide non-lease like options to the market at such price, that the end consumer actually buys. Penalties for even single accidential incomplience will result in fines in tens of percent of highest company value in the past decade.
