I'm mad as hell and by gawd I'm not going to take it.

People will either have to decide they've had enough and go back to old tech or keep taking the abuse and paying whatever the industries demand. I am about to do that with cellphone. Now the companies don't want to give you a contract unless you lease a phone or pay for it on your monthly bill. They try to tell you the price is cheaper this way but I don't see it. Companies think they have the public eating out of their hand and we will do whatever it takes to get their product. Sadly, for the most part they are right. What's it going to take to wake up the sheep?
