Good lord… you can point out how shitty Sony is for taking away purchased content without being sensationalist and claim this justifies piracy. Whoever wrote this sucks.
Edit: Oh god… It’s Rossman. Of course it’s dishonest.
If Sony taking something away that you paid for isn't stealing, then neither is taking something that Sony doesn't lose.
It kinda does add some validity to the argument. The seller can just take away a product without compensating you for it, in most situations we call that theft. If they are going to steal the content from you, morally I see no problem stealing it back.
It's of course still illegal, but I wouldn't say it's immoral in this situation.
How is he dishonest? It's fine if you disagree with his opinions, but saying he's dishonest is very.... well.... dishonest :P
I wouldn't say it's dishonest. I should say it's discussion with the evidence that lead op to their point.
Using their data and our data leads us to an agreeable middle ground.
I was referring to his edit which is:
Any my argument was that it's fine to disagree with him (especially if you have conflicting evidence), but I don't think that it's warranted to call Rossmann dishonest
By the way, I don't even necessarily disagree with his main opinion, the video title is clickbaity for sure
Since when is Rossman controversial? He simply stands on the side of consumer right-to-repair and ownership. Is anyone here against this?
