This post was inspired by Hani. I saw a rather interesting notice on a toilet paper dispenser at JavaOne:

This dispenser is subject to restrictions on sale, modification, filling and use, and may be used only to dispense the trademark-bearing products identified on is exterior. Georgia-Pacific Corporation strictly prohibits unauthorized sale, modification, filling or use of this dispenser, and will enforce its rights under United States and foreign laws.

I'd expect to see such such restrictions in a software license or maybe from the RIAA and MPAA types, but I guess even the toilet paper industry has to protect themselves from the toilet hackers and paper pirates. I wonder if they can call on the DMCA for help?
