So technically they could restrict every device then even if you bought it.

    Interesting they are saying this outloud...its almost like they are trying a strategy of determinism.

    They can go F themselves, they need to be reminded of what happens to when authority tries conformity

    “Die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” really aught to apply to corporations more than people.

    With the leadership at the helm, new ideals, new financial goals - it’s inevitable.

    What happens is that consumers roll over and take it. Especially considering if apple is doing it, it's only a matter of time before Android does as well and that eliminates all viable choices for non-techie people

    Uuuh yeah just like with any proprietary device or software in the world with a network connection and an auto update feature. That shouldnt be news to anyone.

    Its the shift of tone that bothers me, for years it was 'we would never infringe' we all suspected they may. Suddenly they are not only saying they will do it, they are even telling us its a service we should pay for. The amount of people on board with this scares me.
