Terms of service, Intellectual Rights

Although required by virtual entities for most types of interactions, Terms of Service are seldom read by users. From opening new email accounts, to buying songs online, and even for blogging at blogspot.com; terms of service have subtly become an unavoidable component of the surfing experience.
I am someone who doesn't bother to read any Terms of Service. One day, however, while at work at Sears, I was asked to agree to some terms of employment. Merely to prolong the surrendering of my soul to the production of a paycheck I decided to read these 'terms of employment'. It just so happens that by agreeing to these terms I basically sold my intellectual rights to my employer! If I am ever to create something which might seem to be inspired by Sears, a law suit will shortly follow. How do I mention my dark days at Sears in my autobiography? Beats me, though perhaps I could devise an imaginary store to spare the real one, but couldn't Sears still have a case against me as a source of inspiration? Seriously, who devises these devilish rules? Who's the even lower basterd who signs them into law? How against the spirit of man it is to trump his creative potential in favor of obese and diabetic entities! Who is to say these regulators weren't once inspired by prior regulations, how about we sue them for, say, expanding long established laws? Their goddamned regulations are as ridiculous to me as what I just proposed. Where along the way did we forget those principles of individual freedom which a younger America swore to protect?
