Wasn't the biggest thing with the kinect everyone was upset about was that if you say, rented a movie, there would be an implicit agreement that x number of people can watch at that price. If x+n people were watching, you would get up charged. Then also question of, what if only x people are watching but 1 person walks in a room, then walks out, would they have counted that as x+1?
- hbn 4y agoFirst I've heard of that. I did a quick search just now and it sounds like it was some patent that was filed but there was never anything officially stated about it.
