Imagine if companies could just sue and take down products just because they could theoretically be used to view pirated content (not to pirate, but to view it).

Goodbye Adobe Acrobat Reader, v1 Nintendo Switches, all home PCs, Android phones, and web browsers,

Well, it is essentially what they’re doing already with DRM.

Try watching a full resolution stream on any paid streaming service using “bad” software, like Firefox or Linux.

I never saw it that way, but you’re right. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Hasn’t something like this happened already? Not sure what platform it was (Android TV maybe?), but I vaguely remember something like that.
