Let's assume the customer thinks IMAX is awesome. Given that he's buying X because it was compared favourably with IMAX, this is reasonable. Let's say product X turns out to be crap. The customer's reaction is likely to be something like, "This is a piece of crap--the experience is in no way comparable to what IMAX does for films." This, too, is reasonable.
He is not going to decide of a sudden that IMAX has suddenly turned to crap, too, which is what you seem to think, even though this is not reasonable.
Isn't having such people voluntarily decide to leave us to sin in peace and go travel far away to take substantial risks, up to and including fatal ones, rather convenient?
Um... In case you'd not noticed... That "in peace" part? Doesn't seem to be happening.
I tagged the current story as a dupe, but the tag was removed so I guess duplicates that don't occur within the same Mon-Fri period don't count as such.
In Hawaii, the statute of limitations for a lawsuit over a written or oral contract appears to be 6 years. In California, where I'm guessing Luckey resides, it appears to be 4 years for a written contract, and 2 for an oral one. (Source: http://www.nolo.com/legal-ency...)
It's not just encryption. Governments adore overly-broad laws in general. This makes everyone guilty of something. Then governments can just prosecute anybody they don't like in a completely arbitrary fashion.

I'm sorry, where was there any attempt whatsoever made to pass off a different product as IMAX? Because I seem to have missed that part.
The reciprocal of x increases as x decreases.You want infinity, not zero, for x=0.
IOW, Slashdot now has its very own Golden Dawn operative. Isn't that special.

I've been reading Slashdot since it was published on stone tablets, and... OK, it sucked then, too.
All languages are "made up".
Okay. Now I know. It's that stupid-looking video bar thing mid-page that I've been scrolling past by reflex for the last few days.
rsync is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.
Oooh, and it's even recursive.
I'm already glad I don't know what it is. Not going to look it up, either.
About as much as you do with Self-Organising Holarchic Open Systems.
My guess is such companies hope to overcome any competitors by executing well and retaining a first-mover position in the market.
Well, yeah. Isn't this what any company is supposed to try to do?

Didn't the US government already try to do this, like 2 decades or so ago?
Kevin Rudd might actually have made a good PM if he'd not got stabbed in the back before he'd had half a chance.
I lived in Oz during the Howard era. Abbott's making him look pretty good.

That's completely orthogonal to my point. But thanks for playing.
Doesn't sound like cygwin has changed much in the last 10 years. Thanks for the trip down memory lane--I think. :)
Contractual clauses which violate US law are null and void in that country as well.
You can tell where the centre of *mass* is just by looking at it? Cool, wish I could do that.
And you're adding to the discussion exactly how? People are allowed to, you know, express their opinions and stuff.
At this rate, we'll see a story about the hypervisor floppy-disk vulnerability in... December.
