Meaaaaahahahahhaha, well played Neo xD
So, this is the picture in my mind:
Big-ass huge non-aligned and for-profit entity sells a product with expiry date. Planned obsolescence. It is enforced through *system updates*.
When the user blocks the updates, the product (giant death robot or whatever) stops working properly. So such that only a big group of techies can make it work. Make me guess, these individuals gonna get sued for not playing to the tune.
On top of that, Magilante remote-controls the product that, by severing the link, is rendered unusable so they sell both the husk AND the service to make it usable, and there is data travelling between the nodes even if only the control data. Tell me more, does Magilante have _legitimate interest_ in gathering usage data and user data?
