>Funny how the same crowd that complains about ‘not owning’ your phone/car/tractor etc is totally fine with not owning a concert ticket…
Yeah, "ownership" is not exactly a black-and-white issue such that impinging upon it is always bad. People in general want good outcomes, not bad ones.
They think that the way John Deere impinges upon the customer's ownership of their tractor (to lock it down and force you to pay recurring fees, use only licensed mechanics who kick back to Deere) is bad, and the way that Rammstein impinges upon the customer's ownership of their ticket (to keep you from scalping it and making money as a middleman who offers nothing of value) is good.
Ownership is one of those concepts where it is difficult to draw universally applicable rules. Instead, we investigate the specifics of each case to decide whether the infringements are ok or not.
