I’ve just watched the video. I find it pretty outrageous. The word about it should spread.

Ah the joys of software as a service.

I do wish I could say it will pass, but the ability to sell someone something they already purchased is the holy grail of sales. This isn’t going to go away, and the EULAs you agree to ensure that it is entirely legal.

The only way to fight back is to vote with your wallet - sadly in monopolies that isn’t really an option.

We need more FOSS. If our governments weren’t utterly captured we could publicly fund worthwhile projects.
