What are you doing to help ensure this can’t be done to you or those around you? Prepare. | ||

My home printer was more expensive than an HP because they don't have an abusive ink sales business model. Artificially linking a business model to refills or subscriptions has always been a choice. It's just a worse choice now. A lot of my clients have a need for partly embedded software, and partly applications. That's always been more remunerative than strictly app level software. The change I have observed since last year is that the app part can get a lot more ambitious and user-friendly on the kind of budget hardware makers allocate for that. | ||

I sold my business while I could. I'm not even going to try to sell anything else because there's nothing we can do to stop software from being replicated in a heartbeat. | ||

By "this" you mean taking control of the things you own? I suppose I could do more to inform people about the horrors of personal property rights. | ||
