It's a Babelfish translation of a sentence written in Spanish (the
word "automaticamente" sort of gives it away). The original Spanish
sentence looked reasonably correct, so I doubt it's Compuclick's fault.
(Also, it doesn't seem to discuss "legal terms"; it's just a statement
about the fact they make CDs.)
So I guess the person to blame works for Compaq.
