What really peeves me is the "License" that companies plant on their
software. This "License" usually says you really don't own your copy,
you aren't allowed to make any copies of it, the software company isn't
liable for *anything* the software does, and to top it all off, they
don't even guarantee that it will work. About the only thing they will
guarantee is that there is a disk in the box.

And software companies whine about piracy. I know of few such industries
that hold the consumer in such utter contempt.
