Do you think RICO statutes could be a way out of subscription hell? It smells like a racket but I don't think it legally meets the bar for extortion because it's an at-will transaction between willing parties, and no one is making anyone buy a car.
It does seem anticompetitive though so maybe there are antitrust and interoperability angles?
- calvinmorrison 4y agoEverything is regulated. Why not a "no subscriptions on safety measures" isn't one i don't know. Having a warm butt is a safety measure
- di456 4y agoToo much wiggle room. A cold butt never killed anyone. How about "no subscriptions on titled property"
- calvinmorrison 4y agoI think that, subscriptions are fine for items that require a subscription. Sort of circular reasoning but, for example, OnStar or onboard wifi or other things of that nature makes sense as a subscription. Compare to a heated seat. They are some of the simplest circuits out there. Apply 12V and it will heat up a nichrome alloy wire. Same way a cigarette lighter works.
