> What a pain in the ass it would be if you had 4 different twitter equivalents that you were trying to use.. or try to remember "oh friend A is on twitter1, Friend B is on twitter3" etc. It can be solved with interoperability.

I'm one of those that are complaining, but at the same time I pay for Spotify, Netflix and HBO GO, and I didn't pirate almost anything for years. It's not about the cost, it's about their obsession with control. If they

Should TV networks try to block you if you don't look at the TV while ads are running? Or if you turn it off/switch channel/mute it? Same goes for newspapers and magazines - do you have a right to skip pages filled with ads a
