so, chair makers can unchair your chairs??
Using unapproved polish is against the tos and we have issued a DMCA (the C is for chair) notice of violation.
Your chair has been locked.
If you wish to unlock your chair, go fuck yourself. Pay us for another one.
Sincerely,
Go fuck yourself.
You should have thought it twice when you used it to reach that top shelf
If you live in a shit hole like the US, yes.
It’s totally illegal over here.
“Your game console”
While these kinds of “bricking” clauses haven’t been tested in court, lawyers who spoke to Ars felt they would probably hold up to judicial review.
This is laughable at best, would 100% never go to court. The cost of losing would destroy so many models… and defending in it in the light of real consequences is going to make them popular… Ask the RIAA how suing customers made them look.
The threat of doing it is way more powerful.
Threat? Have you not seen Nintendo suing their customers the last 4 decades or so?
That would be the last console I ever bought.
Because capitalism and Greed. You pay money for some piece of hardware and expect to own it? In what world are you living?
…lemme guess, the ToS?
Assuming this article is talking about the USA? This doesn’t sound like the kind of thing that would fly anywhere with half-decent consumer protection laws.
I will just not purchase an console anymore, don’t need one anyway due to have a good PC.
Answer (without even needing to read the article): they can’t legally brick your console, but we live in an oligarchy that refuses to enforce the law against the powerful.
God we are still going to Milk this story 2 weeks later?
