     @zack Clearly the lesson to draw from this is "don't buy locked-down devices". A little convenience now, lots of pain later.

     @karsten: yes, but that's not a consumer victory. I'd rather live in a world (or at least #Europe) where locked-down devices are forbidden

     @zack There's that. And there's working for a world where people know not to buy this crap, just like few ppl eat rat poison. #drm

     I see the point. But we do forbid, say, #antitrust practices. The distinction with #lockin is conceptually blurry, to say the least
