Fujifilm IS Pro license oddities

License agreements are often obtuse and worthy of no more than a yawn and some irritation, if you can stand to read them. But here’s a real doozy from Fujifilm (“Fujifilm USA EULA”)— unless your use of the S5 IS Pro camera falls within their stated requirements, you’re not allowed to use it! So much for the blurring of tangible and intangible property.

You hereby acknowledge and agree that your use of the camera's UV and/or IR light energy sensitive capabilities, as enabled by Fujifilm's camera firmware, will be purely to accomplish a legitimate business purpose in the medical, forensic, fire investigative, law enforcement, scientific, systems integrators, museum/antiquity, aerial photographic survey, astronomy, professional nature and fine art photography, photographic education and local and federal government markets.

In addition, you further agree not to use the camera's hardware and firmware enabled capabilities to engage in unethical photographic conduct involving the violation of personal privacy, child endangerment, lewd photography, and or paparazzi like activities.

For that matter, if it’s for personal use, it’s unclear if all use of the camera is therefore disallowed, since personal use is certainly not a “legitimate business purpose” (emphasis added). And what if my pictures suck, and don’t qualify as “fine art”? The agreement is a “cover your ass” one. Worth reading if you are considering the S5 IS Pro. But at least the agreement will scare off “unethical persons”, right?!
