| The topic here is essentially the Doctrine of First Use, which dates back almost as far as the Magna Carta.
Simply put, it states that the purchaser has the right to decide when/where/why/how to use the product that they purchased.
To go back to the car analogy, it would be like GM telling you to give back their cars after using them. Ok, so they did that with the EVO-1, bad example.
It would be GM telling me I can't take out the driver airbag in my car, because my wife is too small (to enable her to sit far enough away) to make it safe. Ok, so they do that too, bad example.
It would be like Cingular selling a Motorola phone, then disabling all the Bluetoth features so that you have to pay to download photos, etc. OK, so they did that too, bad example.
They do it so much, I can't think of a good example. Unless maybe you count borrowing CD's from the library to burn to my iTunes library....oh @#$%, here we go again! |
