it just goes to show you, just like “Property Taxes” makes it so you don’t really own your property, you are just renting it, so goes it with these devices you don’t “really” own them you are just renting them.

What next, I wonder?

I can see the kindle, laptops, desktops, dvd & blu-ray players, i-pods and other media storage and playback devices, and virtually any electronic device that has permanent data storage capabilities or internet access. Plenty of low hanging fruit for copyright, trademark, and and patent attorneys to exploit, along with government censors.

I really can’t complain.

I paid Verizon $1 for my Samsung Galaxy S on Black Friday, 2010.

When overseas I use this great Android micro-computer/camera for many things other than as a Verizon phone.

Before the break-up of AT&T, yo didn’t own your phone, you simply rented it from the phone company. It seems that those days are returning.
