> Before it was tenable to set the kinds of terms you're upset about, studios simply didn't make content available the way it is now. Yeah it's weird why until 1998, when the DMCA's anti-circumvention became law, we didn't stream movies over our 56 kbps modems. On the other hand, we did have VHS, which could be used to rent and copy movies, or tape broadcasts. Somehow, despite the film studio's claims and failed attempts to ban them, that didn't kill the movie industry either. > to set the kinds of terms I already brought this up - these are not contract terms - this is law, prohibiting unlocking your own devices, reducing your rights of ownership and transferring them to the manufacturers of your devices or software, regardless of any contract terms you accept or reject.
