Re: Consumers lose once again
There is actually a potential backlash that I have issues with here. If say...
Apple (chosen entirely at random, really, truly.... yeah, I'm lying)
Is responsible for the product after <insert random entity> buys it (beyond certain warranty requirments) then they get a new legal theory to try and impose regulations on <insert random entity's> use of the product. Now this may not bother me (not a fan of apple) but <insert random entity> might subscribe to the old fashioned idea that if they purchase a physical product then said product belongs to them...
Also, yes, this issue can be pre-empted somewhat with careful legal phrasing but trust in legislature isn't my strong suit.
