Follow the money and you will find the culprits for unfair laws and rules. Including scumbag politicians and bureaucrats who make these over top laws and regulations which is a law without representation.

What a novel idea...to let people know what they're actually buying and when they don't actually "own" what they paid for...

Good cause, but chances are it won't do much until we get money out of politics so corporations no longer have such a strong influence over our government.

You know DRM has run amuck when a coffee maker is DRM locked to use manufacture only brew pods

I volunteered for a charity making food boxes for poor people. We had a lot of expired Keurig boxes donated. Since poor people didn't have the machines, we broke open each 'k-cup' and dumped the coffee in regular coffee boxes. It takes like 200 of those little k-cups to fill out a regular coffee bag. All us volunteers couldn't believe what a scam those single serving cups are. And the huge amount of packaging, it's awful for the environment. Should be illegal.

lol there is a reason I don't drink those single serve junk. Dirty water is all it is. If you can see through your coffee, it isn't coffee. buy a grinder and a French press/drip machine and save yourself. A food processor works for grinding beans if you aren't picky and you'll get way better than that cup crude or even pre-ground.
