alt Hacker NewsSo you’re saying if I buy a computer, I don’t own that computer?
This is what it is. I own this device in my pocket. I should be able to install, tinker, take apart, said device - granted voiding its warranty - without a company bricking the device intentionally or removing software from the device simply because I chose a p2p network over a centralized one.
Stop defending this. Once you sell something, it’s sold. It’s no longer yours. You may have made it, you may support it, but it’s no longer yours.
You do own the physical device and you can do whatever you want with it. You can take it apart and tinker with it however you please.
If you don't like the software that they do or don't deliver to you over the internet, that is something entirely different.
