"A piece of black tape over the camera."
BRILLIANT!
Now, if you'd read the rest of TFA, does that little piece of tape stop the keylogging also? I'd be MUCH MORE worried about them getting access to my various accounts than if they just watch me fapping off. The latter would be just punishment for their infraction. Fuckers would probably blind themselves after watching me do that!
"The people who rented the laptops AGREED to this in the rental contract."
Even if that is true, when you pay it off and own it, this should be IMMEDIATELY removed or at least permanently disabled. She paid it off and they STILL spied on her.
The thing is, Ms. Byrd DID own it. According to court documents, she had paid off the balance. Aaron's representatives showed up to repossess AFTER it had been paid off.
Hmmm...
So what you're saying is that the original Lotus 123 that I purchased in 1985 is not legal for me to use? Even though I purchased it from an authorized dealer, and it came with a license?
I would call it abandonware because it fits the description - it is not being sold, and it is no longer supported. In other words, Lotus abandoned it MANY years ago.
No wonder an ignorant SOB like you posted as AC.
"You can't give away a PC thats more than a few years old "
Because nobody wants them. But you can take an equally-old Mac and sell it for probably 1/3 to 1/2 what it sold for new. People STILL want the Mac, even though it's older.
Oh, yeah, it must be because of the Kool-Aid!

I hate to break it to you, but there are ALWAYS consequences - sometimes trivial, sometimes not.
"the US insist that I'd have to give up my UK citizenship/passport"
Probably not anymore, if the UK allows dual citizenship, as the US finally allows it if the other country reciprocates.

This lady DID already own it. She had paid it off. For some unknown reason they were trying to repossess the laptop.

True, but does that little piece of tape also stop them from getting all your user names and passwords? I'm kinda thinking not ...

Doesn't Chuck Yeager have a new hip? Wait ... maybe that's different ...

Hmm... I bought AAPL two years or so ago at $120. Yeah, I probably should have got out ages ago ... stupid me, I'm still hanging on to it ...
