Yea, they just want to make us keep replacing the ones that get
scratched. It's just a bonus for the "security" of making copies.
I've seen so many of those situations, just a few examples:
1) iPod battery. You CAN buy a new one and install it yourself at your
own risk, OR you can invest 100$ (that's A LOT were I live) for Apple
to do that for you, while they should fix their own break stuff free
of charge.
2) Console games that have copy protect. You could easily backup, keep
the original safe and play with the copy, but NO, a simple fall and
you loose your money.
3) Those damn mechanical stamps at work, you could simply buy ink and
recharge the softpad, but NO, that will void warranty and probably
damage the stamp so you must buy a new, original softpad.
Just to name a few...
At least with Gentoo you own only respect and admiration for the ones
that provide it (and a few dollars for those wonderful shirts and
mousepads *lol*)
