You mean after the major movie and television studios see a mysterious 80-90% drop in revenue
How so? Last I checked, revenue from paid apps and IAPs per user is nine times as large on iOS compared to Android. This gap is so big that it more than offsets Android's larger user base.
Despite being called "conservative", people on the right tend to value free expression for all, even when it involves ideas that they don't agree with. They find the concepts of censorship, content moderation and banning people to be abhorrent concepts, and won't even subject their opponents to such things.
Let me see if I understand what you wrote: Is Parents Television Council a "conservative" organization? If so, how does a mission "to protect children and families from graphic sex, violence and profanity in the media, because of their proven long-term harmful effects" mesh with "free expression"?
How many of us have purchased random hardware when there were vendors out there working to improve things either because it was cheaper or because we needed it immediately/otherwise too impatient!!
Or because another factor, such as screen size, was the deciding factor. There aren't any laptops smaller than 13 inches at System76 or ThinkPenguin, for instance.
For any device that is sold with the feature, you're knowingly purchasing a device that performs this check. That means you don't care enough to check, don't mind it, or want the feature.
Or you have checked, the result being that all devices available to the public include the feature, and you begrudgingly accept the feature. This, for example, is true of the "Windows 10 preinstalled, no other OSes warranted" feature of every non-Apple laptop PC shown in a U.S. retail chain's showrooms. Technically, one might argue that this falls under "don't mind it" but I felt that this sort of Hobson's choice was worth mentoining.
Which stupid idiotic moron thought it was a good idea to allow USB access from a web browser ?
Somebody who was interested in a particular native application that interacted with a USB peripheral but felt disappointed after he discovered that it was exclusive to an operating system other than the one that his PC runs.
Major ECMAScript virtual machines (ESVMs) haven't been primarily interpretive for several years. All have JIT compilers nowadays.
If the browser didnt have Javascript, you would end up with Flash again
That or web applications would have instead been written as native applications that run outside the browser in the first place. This means an application would ship as a Windows installer, a macOS disk image, and if you're lucky a CentOS package and a Debian package. Or they'd be like the NES emulator Mesen: an executable for the CLR that runs on.NET Framework under Windows or on Mono under macOS and GNU/Linux.
and you are even using the internet how? did you personally audit the code running on your machine line for line.
Some people use a Firefox ESR extension* called LibreJS. It's similar to NoScript, except it automatically whitelists any script that it can verify as having complete corresponding source code available under a free software license. This preserves the user's ability to audit code that runs in the browser's ESVM.
* I refer to this as a "Firefox ESR extension" because it uses Jetpack, not WebExtensions.
HOLY FUCK! I don't want my browser to be able to give web sites access to that info!
Then click No when the browser asks you if a particular origin should be able to use a particular API. Depending on localization decisions made before launch, the No button may be labeled Deny or Block or Don't Allow.
If you're buying an Android device used, you want to know whether the previous owner hasn't installed malware that persists across an apparent factory reset. Popping up a "This device runs a custom operating system" notice while the bootloader is loading the kernel is an unobtrusive way of doing this.
If you're buying an Android device, and you watch movies, you want a wide selection of movies. Google can do one of two things. It can keep its license from major movie and television studios to offer their works through Google Play by continuing to improve the digital restrictions management that deters copying a rented stream. Or it can lose its license and pull the works from Google Play, and end users will end up having to buy an iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad in order to continue to watch notable movies and television series once the licensed apps become iOS-exclusive.
larger companies often want a deal and exchange of money.
Provided they even reply in the first place. Other comments to this story, such as this comment, report that record labels (which control master rights) and music publishers (which control sync rights) have a habit of ignoring licensing inquiries entirely.
I think that the store only supports Metro except for the exceptions
Then I foresee a lot of exceptions. Windows Store supports both Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps, which are the apps formerly associated with the "Metro" name, and Desktop Bridge apps, which use a safe subset of the Win32 API. Thus Win32 apps can be packaged for Windows Store using Desktop Bridge, provided they aren't a web browser, game emulator, programming tool, system utility, companion app for a custom peripheral, or other specialized apps that exceed Desktop Bridge's limits or violate Windows Store Policies.
Except you can't app apps with Appdows 10 S. Currently, you need Visual Studio to app an app, and that isn't an app in Windows Store. This in fact makes macOS and Android appier than Appdows. Xcode is in Mac App Store, and AIDE is in Google Play Store.
Unless and until some sort of "Visu-app Studio" makes it up to Windows Store, AP Computer Science courses will continue to "need an application that isn't yet available in the Store and must be installed from another source."
So let me get this straight: Record labels are paying radio stations to pollute the minds of members of the public with familiarity with nonfree musical works.
"Sure, you can use our company's music through giving our company a cut. Toward this end, our company sets 'a cut' at half our company's market capitalization. By the way, that's tens of billions of U.S. dollars."
the author of that video [which included a radio playing nonfree music] failed to adhere to industry-standard set dressing practices.
What industry?
I was referring to the television industry.
It's people sharing cell phone videos of their friends and family
The same laws apply to all people.
You must be a fucking riot at parties
You assume I behave this way at parties. I do not. I behave this way in discussions about copyright on Internet forums, such as Slashdot and certain project pages of Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.

The choice is this, that, the other, or nothing.
Where this, that, and the other all have the same anti-feature.

Native apps work
Only on one operating system. Good luck (legally) running a native app distributed as a .dmg on anything but a Mac.
Which stupid idiotic moron thought it was a good idea to allow USB access from a web browser ?

Scouts honour, we won't access your usb webcam - we leave that for the shady ad server companies?
I think the idea is that it follows the same permission pattern as WebRTC:
"shadyadnetwork.com wants to access your webcam" - "Deny"
and you are even using the internet how? did you personally audit the code running on your machine line for line.

So how does a student taking AP Computer Science do his homework when there isn't a good selection of programming tools in Windows Store by design?
Except you can't app apps with Appdows 10 S. Currently, you need Visual Studio to app an app, and that isn't an app in Windows Store. This in fact makes macOS and Android appier than Appdows. Xcode is in Mac App Store, and AIDE is in Google Play Store.

The English language is old enough that even if there were initial copyright, it no longer exists.
In other words, you agree that it's desirable to rely on copyright eventually expiring. I'll have to wait to see whether Train0987 agrees with this.
talk to the creator and get a revenue sharing deal going, it's not that hard.
How would this work for an individual amateur video producer who has no revenue in the first place?
And are there request forms? Or if a free-form contact method such as email is preferred, what elements should a successful request include?
Why don't FM radio stations do the same and play royalty-free music?
Then the author of that video failed to adhere to industry-standard set dressing practices. See Ringgold v. BET, 126 F.3d 70 (2d Cir. 1997).
