Are they actually trying to go out of business?

Lucky for us there are plenty of other NAS solutions that are not deliberately crippled. Hopefully this product is such a disaster for WD that they actually listen to what the consumer wants rather than give in to what corporate bullies want.

This is actually the second article that dealt with this topic and I’ll say that it’s sort of frightening. Many of us use Western Digital for our storage solutions and I believe the majority of us to be legitimate users, meaning not pirates. Though it’s a 3rd party installation and can be avoided this could seriously cripple the way we share legitimate data at some point in the future. What I find most upsetting about this is that I may be prevented someday, of sharing my homemade audio and video files with anyone whom I choose.

To hell with ‘em. I’ll do what I want with my property, regardless of what the manufacturer, “rights holders,” or even the government itself says I can’t do. Just because it’s illegal doesn’t mean it’s wrong; just because something’s legal doesn’t make it right.
