Apple has a readable, brief Terms of Service

Admirable. Assuming this is legally sound, I think its existence should recast multipage byzantine TOS as intentional attempts to obscure and deceive.

I do note that one of the permitted uses is Provide recommendations regarding products and services to other users. and postulate: What if an RIAA enforcement contractor is a user and the recommendation is that they sue user X for having a copy of as yet unreleased track Y? Does this document adequately forbid this? Would an 8 page homage to fine print do so?

This is solely for one ITunes feature ('Genius' recommendations). It's 326 words.

At the bottom of the page, a link to the web site's 'Terms of Service': 3,258 words. To the right, there's ~40 links to other terms/policies.

There you can find the ITunes Store Terms and Conditions: 17,807 words, for US users.

When you launch the ITunes installer, you have to accept a License Agreement of 4,053 words.

So I don't see Apple doing any better than others here.
