The RIAA and MPAA should have been made to pay for their anticonsumer ways
The RIAA was suing teenagers. We had to sit through ⬇️ this shit anytime we wanted to watch a DVD. A whole generation shamed for using Limewire and torrents. Only for these silicone valley assholes to now find copyright infringement a necessary evil they shouldn’t have to answer for

I've no doubt this is genuinely true but I'm equally sure this is also a bit of reputation management after all the dodgy redundancies, Netflix trailer exclusivity, and dipping toes in anticonsumer practices
Rockstar Games has broken its silence over the GTA 6 leaks. In a new statement, it called the leaks "heartbreaking" for the team.

The corporate race to the bottom is a design of the B schools where they've been sharing this anticonsumer guidance unchecked for decades.
Most modern business *is* a scam. Instead of acquiring and keeping customers with a product or service people love, companies instead work to trick people into paying for (or using) something, then trapping them by destroying competition, while slowly reducing quality and service to increase profit.
Aside from everything else it's just kind of funny that the CFPB is way over there on the left, meaning "companies shouldn't be able to scam you and take your money" is largely antithetical to conservatism

You killed off Splatoon 1 so now you have to live with the consequences because there's legally nothing you can do about Pretendo. Stop trying to be anticonsumer and reveal the Switch 2 you bums.

If you're surprised by this you've clearly missed the last two decades of anticonsumer practices by Apple enabling our to become the first and one trillion dollar company in history
Apple's latest product is a glass statue with a 24k gold base for Donald Trump. Yeah, that's where we're at now www.theverge.com/news/737757/...

I found this pretty persuasive. Maybe there's some evidence of real harm from the current regulatory status quo but doesn't really seem to be.

Consumers respond to anticonsumer policies much more stronger than they do to war crimes and genocide. Digital-only marketplaces, game key cards, going after piracy, that's what makes treatlers mad. Nothing else matters.
I’ve seen peers completely ignore BDS while championing the “power of the PlayStation Boycott” in the same breath recently.
Frankly, I’ve just so little respect for these people. Why is it a race to be the most unserious person imaginable lately?

It's so fucking embarrassing to have this asshole Elon BEHIND the resolute desk, UNELECTED, and talking to us about "fraud and abuse" as he makes $7 million per week on "DOGE" and guts/kills specifically the agencies that have investigated his anticonsumer and safety issues. He is KILLING people.
