The firmware is protected by force of law.
And really, who wants to forced to install crazy Ukrainian firmware on their tractor? Is that how ownership is supposed to work?
It still makes me laugh that John Deere thought that they could get away with locking farmers out of the ability to self-repair products they purchased.
"Thought?" They completely got away with it. By including Copyright into their vehicles they have locked out repairs.
Why not start with "build your own fucking Google equivalent" and work from there?
Gab, Stormfront, Infowars, their own news network at Fox "Working For the President." Seems like the Conservatives are represented. When are those services going to eliminate their bias?
So it's Ok for a corporation to own a copyright - forever.
But it's against Cabbage Law for them to "collect" any information. Ever.
What exactly does that mean? "Can't collect information." So they can't ask you for your real name, address, phone number? Credit Card? Shipping address? Username? They can't collect your password or email address?
How would that actual work Blue_Balls? How would Amazon ship you a package? How would Facebook let you log in at all if they can't collect your name?
Um. Weren't you on this very site like a month ago pointing to Reason as an example of the "right" way to do comments
Indeed. He even "challenged" me to go over there myself after he couldn't defend his own ramblings, so he wanted me to talk to people smarter than he was. :)

Amazon's item description bundling should be illegal, as it would be the same as a store advertising one product and delivering you something slightly different.
It isn't Amazon's description - it's the sellers. If the info was wrong Amazon will refund the sale. Explain what Amazon is doing wrong here?

You'd think by now Blue Balls would have his own site to prove he can do this better.
Seems pretty simple - start a blog and proclaim it a free speech zone. Prove that everyone that called him a spineless coward was wrong.

You know he can't get help - that would mean giving in to the Globalists who are polluting his air with Chemtrails!!
Blue Balls sits in his parents basement, doesn't wash or brush his teeth (Fluoride!) and can't fact check his wild statements, because of The Google.

That is "Abandoned, but we maybe might want it again so no one else can use it."
That's the thing with Imaginary Property - You can't steal it, but you can abandon it and Skippy isn't in use. For peanut butter OR beer!

Really - I'd say Zimmerman is a regular here but we know Blue Balls doesn't have a FB account.
