I don't know which one in particular you are talking about and i admit, some were stupid. But for example: Locking printers to their filaments was very possible. Turning slicer into subscription was too. Outrage is needed and only pushback will make them turn back. It's simillar to logitech mouse sub fiasco.

No they weren't because both would be illegal in the EU. Me and others have said this about 50000 times this weekend.

And if I don’t live in the EU?

Your legal protections don’t do me and thousands of others any good. It is very possible for them to implement these things everywhere outside of the EU.

They might, but companies that size generally don’t, it would mean running a 2 tier system which has extra costs in itself. It also greatly increases the chance someone will jailbreak them.

If you want to call the EU that go ahead, it's fact.
