Well, that's the point. He *has* control over them in some way. If he 
get's enough trouble from this disclaimers, he might have a talk on his 
boss, and so on.

I don't think he's the person to work against. But making people feel 
uncomfortable with such garbage is the best way to change things so far.

BTW: such disclaimers are completely invalid in a lot of countries 
(including germany AFAIK), so what's the use of it at all?

Did you read between the lines? It is saying *a lot* about the way 
people think about the way they are doing things. If I'm sending you a 
mail and made a mistake selecting the correct address, I'll blame it on 
you and I will send all my lawyers on you if you didn't delete it!!! 
That's really an interesting point of view...

Ok, ok, sorry, I'm taking this too personally which I shouldn't do. It's 
just about how the world *should* be ...

P.S: I'm working for a *big* german employee, so I know what you are 
talking about ...
