Lol. thats so hypocritical though. you do have a right, its your money that gives you that right. if you don't want the strings attached, its not like you're bound and gagged about it.

abstain and stop complaining. | I'm missing the hypocrisy here? my point is not that they are the big bad wolf for their exploitive manufacturing practices... my point is that the devices don't cost much to make, so the notion that we are bound by some sort of "discount" is ridiculous. there are very little if ANY cruelty free electronics btw. and you see we disagree fundamentally. you think money endows rights and I think that is more capitalist bullsh*t.
