(ie: cell phone contracts) I especially like Article 7 and would go so far as to amend it with something to effect of “the user has the right to an open market and should not be held to a device/product by financial terms.” (ie: cell phone contracts)

"right to products" - and whos going to supply them? It'll have to be restated. §8. And whos to provide that if it's free? Can't apply to Free Software. Nice try though :-D §1. “right to products” – and whos going to supply them? It’ll have to be restated.

By making everyone financially responsible for their own software you're basically killing off the open source movement. @Mary Deaton I hear what you’re saying but what about free software?

There is no excuse for releasing a product that harms a user or their data.

In my opinion it is important for the free flow of information, that someone can release a half-finished idea for a product in the knowledge that they are not responsible if that product does end up harming the user or their data. Articles 6 & 9, as they stand, would threaten that. Great idea but you would have to be careful not to stifle creativity through such a declaration.
