We live in the middle ages of computing. No reasonable laws, no regulations, rogue corporations doing whatever they please.

This is a new tax on ownership. Big corporations are taxing everybody else. Closed systems that could be easily repaired go to the trash or cost large amounts of money as serfs own nothing and lords get their share of all transactions.
