Good lord… you can point out how shitty Sony is for taking away purchased content without being sensationalist and claim this justifies piracy. Whoever wrote this sucks.
Edit: Oh god… It’s Rossman. Of course it’s dishonest.
It kinda does add some validity to the argument. The seller can just take away a product without compensating you for it, in most situations we call that theft. If they are going to steal the content from you, morally I see no problem stealing it back.
It's of course still illegal, but I wouldn't say it's immoral in this situation.
If Sony taking something away that you paid for isn't stealing, then neither is taking something that Sony doesn't lose.
You paid for a licence to watch this content for as long as it is available.
I never said it wasn’t stealing. Nice straw man, though.
How is he dishonest? It's fine if you disagree with his opinions, but saying he's dishonest is very.... well.... dishonest :P
I wouldn't say it's dishonest. I should say it's discussion with the evidence that lead op to their point.
Using their data and our data leads us to an agreeable middle ground.
I was referring to his edit which is:
And my argument was that it's fine to disagree with him (especially if you have conflicting evidence), but I don't think that it's warranted to call Rossmann dishonest
By the way, I don't even necessarily disagree with his main opinion, the video title is clickbaity for sure
You know that's fair and I appreciate your follow up. I personally need to do some research on Rossman so for that thank you
Rossman has become something weird lately. Just full of hate and not any real knowledge, kinda like the Alex Jones of "tech", just whine and scream into a camera for attention. I had to unsub and block his channel it was so toxic.
Agreed.
Before the change it was educational, now it's just clickbait and hate
He was always a bit dishonest. It’s just gotten to a breaking point.
Since when is Rossman controversial? He simply stands on the side of consumer right-to-repair and ownership. Is anyone here against this?
Rossman is a dishonest guy that’s working to promote his business through right to repair controversies. He’s never really been controversial but lately people are getting wise to his schtick.
This is ludicrous. He might be an asshole but if rossmann does one thing, it's telling the truth and showing receipts
Hah. That’s hilarious. You’re not paying attention, then. He lies all the time.
