saying that "purchasing is a voluntary decision" is kind of ridiculous. sometimes it's not. printer cartridges are a good example, because most of the major manufacturers do similar things with their cartridges and say you shouldn't reuse them. taking this further, they also say that you shouldn't put generic cartridges in your printer. a printer is something that in many situations (eg businesses) are not optional
if you switch shouldn't to can't (like lexmark is asserting) then it's not a choice
*edit for clarity
- witty_username 10y agoThe purchase of the printer is voluntary. It is the buyer's responsibility to check that the cartridges will not be expensive. Just like how when purchasing a car, buyers check MPG to ensure the cost of fuel will not be too high.
