I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

I'll tell ya more, if you read hardware license agreements then you know that even with hardware you don't "own" anything, you just bought license to temporarily use it, i was shocked back in the day when i read license agreement on my iPad 4 in 2013, there was point about it, that i don't own but only bought temporary rights to use it

I see people going "this is what you get for buying digital", and that's what they are not seeing. This is not about digital being more unreliable than physical. This is an attack at the concept of customer ownership itself.

Preach brother, always has been, as they trying to push "you won't own anything and be happy" we thought it was a joke, but surprise, these corporations literary want to build their cities, own all the property and have wage/rent slavery and neofeudalism

Almost everyone I have heard say that is quote also a right wing boomer and corporate apologist that also harps on about "15 minute cities bad" etc yet voting for exactly the people that are enabling most of what they complain about, except for if any of those things are actually good but they are too blind to see it. I almost wish there was an annual exam to verify mental capabilities as a requirement to voting but that would definitely end up rigged pretty quick.

No bad faith in my comment, but all "wingers" are bad, it's class war, if you support upper class, you support all this shit, because corporations have their lobbyists at both sides at the same time, unionise and fight for your rights, corporations fear unions, what we all must do is be a community, not divided as they want us to be, if you want examples of success, recent Starbucks unions, 1900s ford and Chrysler unions

Even better; turn them into worker cooperatives!

Yea, it is so annoying. As if DRMed disks or DRMless digital downloads don't exist.

Yes, i don't know if they changed anything, but in high school I've read license agreement of my iPad 4 and was shocked
