There are thousands of people who essentially follow this principle every day. They design or build weapons, and let someone else take responsibility for their use.

I have no doubt that humans will smash stars together the morning after they finally acquire the technology. Actually, they'll pull an all-nighter instead, 'cause the kids are in bed and this shit's AWESOME!!!
The number is now on the outside so that you don't chop it off to count the rings. The problem is whether people will start chopping them off to use the nice numbers on their doors.
CEOs like to follow the trends. "Cloud" is the buzzword? Here comes Sears Cloud! Bonus check, please!
More seriously, the advantage of the Sears usually central location is the availability of a central office not too far, which means potentially lots of bandwidth without ginormous installation costs.
The power side? Ya, that's gonna hurt. But if they succeed the can get a check from the mall for providing heat for everyone in winter!
When you buy the car from someone, you have to tell Renault about it and start paying the battery rent.
it's a bit silly, but given the size of Renault/Nissan, people may want to trust them to keep it up and reasonably priced. Let's call it DriveForSure to illustrate that commitment!
If you can keep getting certified batteries in an old electric car, I'm sure the dealers won't be happy with the lack of maintenance otherwise required by an electric powertrain.
Why would the lease end and the battery be returned? That's an odd idea. You want to stop milking people, go back to the XXth century !:-)
The only way they could avoid being sued if they stopped providing the battery lease/support program would be to just give away the batteries (now useless for them, a nice tax writeoff).
People who realize that the main drag on buying electric cars (in countries with short commutes) is the lack of resale value because of battery life worries.
Under Renault's scheme, you don't own the battery, just the frame, and you can even do road trips by swapping batteries along the way without worries about getting yours back (intact or damaged). Because you don't own it and you can just go get a new one anytime, and so does the guy who'd like to spend 10k on your used car but is worried about having to buy a 7k battery a month later.
The DRM part probably comes from the fact that if you don't pay your lease, Europeans don't have the wild US repo guys. It takes a while to get the battery you don't own out of the car you do own via the legal system.
If the goal was to infect you, you have a much better standing using the laws on breaching private IT networks, since have lots of teeth and over-broad reach given who sponsored them...
The hacked you? Get a judge to hand out hackers minimum sentences!
It depends whether you just kill DNS and wait for most users to give up, or want to kill everything at once and have to reach into the many central nodes that would bring the internet to its knees if they were off.
You don't need to take down that many major nodes for everybody else to become suddenly over-congested and fundamentally useless.
Technically you don't. Your brain reacts to overwhelming brightness data, but if I take a laser outside of the visual range, I can burn penises on your retina without you even feeling it.

At last check, you can kill 50% of the internet by turning off Youtube and Netflix.
Your fancy kill switch is just a phone with two CEO numbers.

If it's officially not private, then they should just ask the NSA for an anonymized data dump. We paid them for the collection already.
What's the performance of that Tesla when you have McAfee running on the battery?
They say we're young and we don't know...
Most people care about their own spares.
Amazingly selfish, i know.
But we are going to have public mutual no-spying agreements.
because the system knows what matters and what doesn't.
How many Billions to they want to play with haDRons?
Keep your enzyte, please, this could turn nasty.
That's why we have a moon.
No oceans, no land titles, free vacuum, and free cooling on half of the system.
Plenty of space to put solar panels and no pesky clouds.
Let's built the Moon Equatorial Collider of Hadrons!

They'll do it with lasers so you can't unsee it.
According to climate change deniers, our incomplete knowledge of the sun's behavior means that it's not happening at all.
Just look up at night and you can see their evidence. Where's yours?
Because the NSA doesn't like when someone else can get your files.
It slows them down.
