What? Whose gone to jail for thinking that they own a product they’ve bought?

Pirated movies are not something you’ve paid for.
charging them a buck to watch is, though.
Its illegal to get caught.
So your issue isn’t that you don’t actually own the DVDs you paid for, but rather that you’re not allowed to run an unlicensed cinema.
Gary Bowser got fucked by Nintendo for doing shit to a device he bought. Got sentenced for nearly 4 years, now owes like $15m
For selling hacking tools - not for modifying their personal device.
i.e. Helping others modify their own devices
You’re splitting hairs
You’re moving the goalposts. The claim was that people are going to jail for “thinking they own a product they paid for.” Your example has nothing to do with that.

Bricked switches come to mind, John Deere was trying to make self-repair illegal. Can’t be long before someone decides users don’t deserve their device.
