Yes, I'm aware of that.  What I was trying to suggest, without getting
into gory detail, was that there will always be inappropriate-usage
situations not on the proscribed list, and that the only long-term
protection lies in judges correctly concluding that the up-front
disclaimer of warranty (whether locally-enforceable or not) combined
with the complete lack of payment make assignment of liability to 
the copyright-holder inequitable.
