The only thing I disagree with is this:

This continuing saga shows how important regulation and legislation are to protect consumers, whether it’s individuals like us, or companies that are being bullied into complying with some pretty odious demands.

This makes it look like anti-repair lawsuits were something that can natuarlly occur, and that the solution were some form of government intervention. By and large, that’s not true: It’s the existing copyright laws which are the government intervention — what we are calling for is not a restriction of freedoms for the greater good (regulation), but a return of freedoms that were unjustly taken from us.

(Just so no-one misunderstands me: I’m no opponent of regulations, and am wholly aware that, very often, they actually protect freedom in the greater scheme of things. My point is that terms like “regulation” and even “new legislation” do have a bad ring to many people in the Western hemisphere and beyond, and we needlessly cease discursive territory if we neglect the fact that we are victims of overreaching, oligarch-serving regulation, which we seek to abolish.)
