[QUOTE="pming, post: 8469624, member: 45197"] Hiya! They can have all the 'control' over their IP they way...they just don't get to control me. Which is one of their "cost/benefit" things (e.g., "how many stubborn old farts are we going to PO and loose, versus how many kids have we brainwashed into accepting our rules unquestioned"?). Unfortunately for us old mothballs...our numbers continue to dwindle and the mass-consumer-always-on-gottahavitnow numbers are increasing. :( They may want complete control...but as long as it's digital, I know I can "just say no", because of a lot of reasons. I mean, heckin fudge, I [I]still[/I] don't have a cell phone. Never have. Probably never will at this point, but you never know... maybe Elon will figure something out and make cell phones desirable and palatable enough for me. ;) Consumer boycotts work if people do them; but people have been trained since birth to rely on "digital now" stuff. I tripple-dog-dare ANYONE to give up their cell phone for TWO WEEKS. If your immediate reaction is "I can't do that, I have to have it for my job", and you aren't a Lawyer, Doctor, or President...that's my point. If you can't do that...you are too weak to do a boycott. Simple as that. ^_^ Paul L. Ming [/QUOTE]
