I'm not a lawyer. Is it the case that because the contract specifies a (financially nebulous) penalty for its breach, there can be no other legal repercussions for breaking it?<p>Actually adhering to the first clause seems difficult. As I'm sure everyone knows, Internet connections are notoriously unreliable; coping with this is a key distributed systems problem.<p>On another note, I bet it uses DHCP to get an IP address. What if it's a live Internet connection, but the local network does not have a DHCP server? Seems like that may not be in breach of the contract, but I bet that the box won't be able to get online.
