Let us raise our glasses in toast to these people and hope that they will be successful, and that their success will cause more to follow in their footsteps.

Even if you already bought the BetaMax, VHS, DVD, HDDVD, BluRay media before?

It is incredibly ironic that I stated that court cases are largely judged by who the parties are, and you argued it by saying I don't have a right to make my point based on who I am and what you imagine my accomplishments are. You are illustrating the kind of thinking that I am referring to and I thank you for that.

Furthermore, I wasn't complaining about being on the receiving end of anything; I am an uninvolved third party in this dispute. You are complaining about "young people" and making a sweeping generalization that they buy expensive coffee.

You are simply not talking about the laws that this legal case involves. You are instead saying that young people in disputes with businesses deserve to be "spanked." And shouldn't "complain" (which in this case means exercise their legal rights based on the laws as they are written).
