Sounds like the stories about your "permanent record" in grade school. I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

If this were true, can you imagine how much data that would be. Especially if you brought the data back ten years or so.

That would be an aweful lot of information.

Plus, if your insurer gives you a timetable for replacements, and you stick to that, how can that be abusive if you keep the equipment for personal use?
