> I just don't purchase any digital assets from them anymore. I never "purchase" (aka: rent) digital assets from anyone, unless I'm buying DRM-unencumbered open format media. I argue that any restriction outside of copyright and patent is not a sale. It is a form of a rental masquerading as a sale. I too have been bitten by shitty hardware remotely crippled, and bad software that was force-converted to cloud crap. Never again. If that means I stay firmly in the piracy school of though, so be it. I'm not going to be taken advantage of again.
