The ability to change features, prices, and availability of things you've already paid for is a powerful temptation to corporations.

Hi, welcome to the Technology community here on Lemmy! Discourse is not tolerated here, so please just tack on your endorsement of piracy and leave your civility at the door.

I never endorsed it. Sure, it may be justified, but that doesn't make it legal.

Whoa whoa, we don't take kindly to people telling us that. Only a boot-licking, brain-dead, corporate shill wouldn't outright endorse piracy. Take your nuance somewhere else, pal!
