Stallman was right all along.

There would at least be some semblance of sanity, we assumed. It appears not. Apparently the desire of 'the market' to extract maximum profit at ANY cost right here and right NOW tramples everything else. Consumer trust and the next decade's profits that hang on that trust be damned. Better to extract everything NOW, rather than build something long-lasting. This can only be solved by regulation now. We are back to where we were at the turn of the century before consumer protection laws and regulations existed.
