Tried to support the industry by buying a movie a watch a lot. Well, no more. If I need a pihole just to watch a movie I own, that's ridiculous.

I would assume based on the line where it says you can go into the settings and opt out at any time that yes you canin fact choose not to accept this. But most people aren’t even going to think about it, which is what they are gambling on

Politely asking the spying-on-you-box to not spy on you

innocence If you check the little box in the settings the machine with totally opaque and secret software running on it that you don't control will definitely respect that little check box and stop spying on you

You don’t even understand what I’m objecting to.
