>they haven't done enough for you. We live forward in time, not backward. Also, people know about IP rights. Either it's the law of the land or a treaty obligation. Clearly documented, as are the available remedies in case of dispute. Available to everybody, in theory. This "DRM" was unilateral. Surreptitious. Why do this if not to remove agency from the client at some later date? Why bypass the legal system? Silently? Altruism? Maybe, but that's just as bad, idealists and coercion go hand in hand throughout human history. Pragmatism? Seems more likely. The trains can be fixed, except they get turned off from the mothership whenever they seem to be in the shop. They don't fix them for free, presumably. Either way, that is some snake ass shit, since it's undocumented. Poor.
