This is just one point though, taken out of context.
There are many others dealing with restrictive use & ease of use. What if you paid full price for that Porsche, but then all of a sudden, you drive into another country and the engine fails because it was designed to just because you are in another country and some other Porsche dealer owns the exclusive rights to that country?
I take his overall argument to be about consumer rights & ease of use. Yes, content providers don't have to make things easy for us, but we can subvert their system until they realize the mistake they're making. All the legislation in the world isn't going to make piracy go away.
- tmh88j 15y agoThings like this already happen. If you own a Nissan GT-R and bring it to Japan, it's capped at a top speed of 111mph. Using GPS, the car knows if you're at a racetrack, and then the speed limiter is bumped (or removed, I forget). Also, if you "own" a Ferrari FXX you truly have no say over it. You're essentially paying to drive it. Ferrari holds onto the car for you and you can only drive it at approved race tracks.
