Are you sure you didn't violate any DMCA-type laws?  Those four screws could be 
interpreted as the manufacturer's attempt to protect their Intellectual Property 
(IP) contained within.  By removing the screws, you have circumvented their more 
than adequate security measures.  How dare you!

You are going to ruin the economy with this type of blatant disregard for 
intellectual property rights.  I'm calling my U.S. Disney-person and put a stop 
to this.
