I relay don't care about the legal aspect. angel For what they charge I will f them over any way i see fit.
I hate to be the one to point this out, but that sounds an awful lot like:
"from each according to his ability to each according to his need"
While I certainly don't condone "fing" any business over, just simply because you don't like the profit margin.
You could just simply drop their service all together and download your tv.
And you are of course using Linux only. Since Microsoft falls into that category of overpriced goods backed by poor service.
Or better yet you could just blame lawyers.. since they tend to be the underlining cause of nearly all poor service industries.
If not them .. then it's over regulation. Oh AND blame yourself. Since it's also consumers fault for not firing them when they dish out bad service in the first place.
Howelse are they going to get the hint.
