"We know the law, but Apple only offers one year warranty. Good luck trying, you will need a legally-valid exame by some specialist that states that the defect was in fact not caused by the user."

This is exactly correct. You would have to prove that the problem was there when the macbook was sold to you, ie that the macbook components could not withstand two years of "normal" use.

Is the sun really a significant contaminant? I can see the dust being a problem, especially when illuminated by the sun...

On the other hand, if you're pointed away from the sun, without any significant dust in the way to reflect back the sun's light, I don't see how the sun would contaminate anything. I'm probably missing something...

Taking the law into your own hands is never the appropriate action unless you are defending your life from an IMMEDIATE risk.

I agree, but then again, one could make the argument that "endangering others by breaking the law is never the appropriate action unless you are defending your life from an IMMEDIATE risk". I agree that people who drive in the left lane at the speed limit are obnoxious, and are making the highway a more dangerous place to drive... but people who speed are just as culpable as people who intentionally drive the speed limit in the fast lane. Both are putting their personal desires above the general good.

No, it is not. Movies have clear copyright notices in them stating that you can not distribute them. No external agreement is needed. If I find a DVD on the ground it doesn't mean it is legal for me to start copying it simply because I never made an agreement with the rightsholder.

Not really... As the rights holder they can distribute it for free to as many people as they want. They can also say that those people do NOT have the right to distribute it to others. It's not the fault of the PR arm if the people they give a work to proceed to do something illegal with it.
